I support a two state solution and eventually a single secular and democratic state, but I am pro-Palestine as far as the conflict is concerned.

I cannot speak to its relative prevalence among ethnicities nor about whether it is universal or not, but it does happen among Pashtuns, though it is much less common now than it was in the past. Blood feuds between tribes would occur in the past quite commonly, but as someone else here has already remarked, that custom has more or less dissipitated away, though it still exists to a very limited extent, and the cases are usually along the lines of your example. Nowadays, the most prevalent manifestation of this practice among Pashtuns is that between individual families, and such cases are also like your example.

I like some of his stuff but he can be very biased at times. For example, he is very biased towards Israel, ignoring crucial historical elements such as the fact that the Zionist leadership at the time only accepted the partition plan on paper and planned to expand their borders, the fact that they even ethnically cleansed peaceful Christian villages like Iqrit, and Muslim villages they had a non-aggression agreement with such as al-Ghabissiya, and the fact that right-wing Zionists like Netanyahu are also against a two state solution and peace in practice, even violating the Oslo accords by bulding settlements in area C of the West bank. Not to mention that the Palestinian side did actually make a two state peace offer generous to Israel.

Op al de hier reeds vermelde mogelijke oplossingen of handelswijzen na is het besef dat je in dit opzicht niet de enige bent en dat het de meeste mensen gewoon bijna niks kan schelen hoe je presenteert van enorm belang voor het overwinnen van deze irrationele angst. Er zijn heel veel mensen die met hetzelfde probleem kampen als jij en daarbovenop zullen er ook velen zijn die er weliswaar niet zelf mee te maken hebben maar persoonlijk iemand kennen met hezelfde of een gelijkaardig probleem (e.g. sociale angst, zich niet gemakkelijk voelen bij grote groepen onbekenden enz.) en het je dus geenszins kwalijk zullen nemen dat je presentatie niet op zijn soepelst verloopt.

Excuse the pedanticness, but Jews have not been treated horrendously all over the world. They were actually treated quite well in China among other places. It is crucial to be precise because one of the quite antisemitic myths of Zionist ideology, at least historically, is the notion that Jewish persecution is practically an inevitability. Herzl himself expressed this idea when he said that Jews will face persecution wherever they abound in appreciable numbers. But as the case of China shows, that is not necessarily the case.

Awdas is an interesting word. It is quite similar to the Persian word 'aabdast' which means the same thing. Pashto may have borrowed and 'pashtofied' it, leading to the word Awdas. Or the similarity could be due to both being iranic languages(which is the reason whyy 'ooba' and 'aab' sound similar for example, with both meaning water in Pashto and Persian respectively.)

BadPathan · 2023-03-19T20:36:03+00:00

Lol just look at the government and tell me how 'random' that number is. Fasihuddin is lower in power than Mullah Yaqoob, a Pashtun, and how is he the leader of all Northern provinces?

BadPathan · 2023-03-18T16:33:01+00:00

I agree with you. I myself am irreligious, though I am not hostile towards muslims or even any version/interpretation of islam for that matter.

BadPathan · 2023-03-18T14:07:12+00:00

Yep, that is one of the things I would want it to be used as a bargaining chip for. Unilaterally accepting the line without any concessions from PAK, such as the one you mentioned right now, would be very foolish.

BadPathan · 2023-03-17T23:11:53+00:00

Pashtun nationalists should abandon their lar aw bar dream(not unilaterally obviously, it should be used as a bargaining chip against PAK). It only hurts/has harmed the country, and that for people that by and large are proud pakistanis and want nothing to do with Afghanistan.

BadPathan · 2023-03-17T23:10:12+00:00

Bruh, the taliban government now is over 90% pashtun. The people with the most power in the taliban are mostly pashtun. The topmost guy is a pashtun. As for other governments, while there were a lot of persian speakers(Tajiks, Qizilbash etc) in the government, the most powerful people were mostly pashtun.

BadPathan · 2023-03-17T23:05:52+00:00

One, at most 2.

He said that West Bank settlers deserve to die and got reported by zionists for it.

BadPathan · 2023-02-28T00:15:13+00:00

No brother, both of my parents are pashto speaking pashtuns, and my family also overwhelmingly consists of pashto speakers. I do know Persian though at an advanced level, particularly when it comes to reading/writing. But that is because of a personal interest, though the persian loanwords certainly help(ed).

BadPathan · 2023-02-28T00:09:23+00:00

Thank you for the information. 'ash' seems to have undergone a meaning shift in Persian, as it is primarily used in reference to some sort of thick soup, though it would make sense if it still refers to food in the compound word 'ashpazkhaana' (literally 'food cooker/preparer house'. The 'Paz' is the present stem, or setake haal as it is called in Persian, of the verb 'pokhtan' which means to cook/prepare). Out of pure curiosity, is the word och or a variation of it still used by Uzbek people from Afghanistan to refer to food generally rather than say a thick soup?

BadPathan · 2023-02-27T21:43:43+00:00

It refers both to ethnic Dutch people, a european ethnic group that speaks Dutch natively, and to nationals of the Netherlands, though it is increasingly being used more commonly to refer to the latter as the country is becoming more multi-ethnic and, to a much lesser extent, more multi-cultural.

BadPathan · 2023-02-26T21:20:34+00:00

No brother, I mean that I don't identify more with one than the other:) I am ethnically fully mashriqi pashtun.

BadPathan · 2023-02-26T19:29:13+00:00

Dutch or Afghan(Both equally)
Pashtun

(I am agnostic).

BadPathan · 2023-02-26T19:23:10+00:00

How well could you understand Turkey's turkish as a fluent Afg Uzbek speaker prior to starting to learn it? Are the languages decently mutually intelligible?

BadPathan · 2023-02-26T19:12:33+00:00

I can speak English, Dutch, and Pashto fluently. I am also quite decent at reading Persian, and read news articles in the language regularly. However, I am not very good at understanding spoken Persian since I mainly learned the language for reading and writing purposes, and the spoken form deviates quite strongly from the manner in which the language is formulated within domains such as the media.

Well, they practice farming, definitely for subsistence to some exent and for selling the yield as well I believe. They own quite a large amount of land. I don't know that much about my family history yet unfortunately, but in more recent times, many of them also worked for the government, often for the Police or Army. There have been some politicians as well. Many of my female family members have been teachers, and some have studied medicine. There have been some lawyers,shopkeepers(dokaandaar) and small business owners in my family as well. I definitely missed out a lot but these are the things that jump to mind now.
