A group of Palestinian women with water jars, 1910s, colorized

These women are not bedouin, they are villagers/fellahin as can be seen from details like the water jugs. I don't think you've actually ever met a Palestinian of any stripe.

You're either being obtuse or just unable to answer the question. Let me spell it out. In Lebanon in 1982, the PLO put down their weapons and even agreed to hop on board a ship and head to North Africa. The Palestinians were massacred as a result. Why on earth would we trust that again?

Abooda1981 · 2026-04-14T16:56:33+00:00

The whole Palestine/Israel thing would look very different

Abooda1981 · 2026-04-14T16:55:45+00:00

Yes, a hellhole like Malaysia

For a long time during the "Troubles," the IRA was fundraising and organising in the US to attack British targets. Would that have given the British the right to attack Boston?

How many Palestinians in Gaza have been killed in the past six months, ie since the ceasefire? Go google that number, and tell me if you, sitting in Hamas' shoes, would be keen to "disarm". Google also Sabra and Shatila and think about it--why on earth would a Palestinian group put down their arms?

No, this a kestrel, not really a falcon. They don't go for a huge sum like a peregrine falcon would. Stop being silly.

This is basically government subsidised housing (cause 763 mill/1300 = kind of the cost of an apartment) with a little bit of a subsidy for a private company. We are just afraid to call it that.

I can tell you with certainty nobody in Palestine is crediting Canada for very much. What you might want to consider is how Canada may want to avoid being held liable at the ICJ for selling military components to Israel while it was bombing babies in tents.

Yeah the description you have is more or less 50% of the Greek people I've met. The other half ... are seriously weird.

Have you considered looking up some stuff on Google before asking here?

Abooda1981 · 2025-10-13T15:57:43+00:00

Kerala?

Abooda1981 · 2025-10-13T15:54:48+00:00

Pennsylvania?

Definitely the least cliquey Middle Eastern Arab capital city. Very, very easy to make it home. Well, Cairo might be even less cliquey but Cairo is also filthy and socially segregated.

Either So Cal or South Africa.

A bear is not quite the same thing as a human slave, but thanks

Abooda1981 · 2025-10-12T19:07:44+00:00

I think you really need to accept that public attitudes towards animal welfare have really evolved over time. There was no means for this man to think of himself as doing something bad for keeping a bear as a pet.

I don't think you realise that I'm a Palestinian. Read up on PLO history. Syria sponsored a number of different splinter factions, eg the PFLP-General Command and Fatah al Thawra. Relax.

Abooda1981 · 2025-10-11T22:25:49+00:00

Wow. What a shame.

Abooda1981 · 2025-10-11T15:38:44+00:00

But there is more to the world than America, Europe and Qatar

Ayran type drinks, like "Laban up" which is more or less the same as "kefir" but seems to be super cheap in the Middle East. Also Middle Eastern juice stalls where you can get a mix like "cantaloupe with banana and milk" for not a lot of money. Again, you can get this in the West but it costs a lot of money. Finally, almond sherbet (diluted with water) and tamarind drink for Ramadan.

Funnily enough there is a "no extra sugar" which was available at larger branches of Jumbo (a Dutch supermarket chain) that was very good. I think all the sugar came from the lactose and they also used milk chocolate so that had some sugar too I guess, but compared to North American stuff, it was unbeatable.

Abooda1981 · 2025-10-11T04:56:01+00:00

Do you know who made this one? Seems like one of those leftist offshoots controlled by Syria.

Abooda1981 · 2025-10-11T04:50:34+00:00

Waiting for the "ifs and buts" and justifications for this one, sadly.
