A friend posted a blog entry asking for people to comment with something either thought provoking and controversial. I read this and don’t know if this person is for real or just being controversial but:
“All Palestinians who do not want to become tax paying Israeli citizens should be compensated for their real estate and given a one way ticket to Saudi Arabia.”
I just want to bitch slap her. HARD. I don’t want to do that on my friend’s blog so I kept it do a minimum
“Perhaps all white people who don’t want to stop raping and pillaging the land of the Native Americans should be compensated for their SUVs and their McDonald’s and given a one way ticket to the land of their dna ancestry.”
I remember visiting my Grandfather’s half sister back in the early 80’s. She fed us a big spread and invited some friends. My uncle, always thinking, asked them how they felt about the white flight from their very small agricultural town and one visitor said, “More would have stayed if it wasn’t for the smokey colored people.” Silence. My uncle left and had his dinner in the RV. I was too young to be that bold. But this kind of thing just makes me sick.
As if the Israeli’s have the right to someone else’s land by force more than any one else does. The more the conflict between Israel and Palestine continues, the more I come to have disdain for the Israelis. Can’t help it. Sure, they want a place of their own but why does that give them right to someone else’s place of their own? With bombs and terrorism and on and on and on and on and on.
fucking humans.
*headdesk*
I wanna go home and go to bed with my head under the covers for a couple hours. I started my period this morning and that is hard enough without losing Orlando. Can’t wait for the work day to be over.
*headundercovers*
You have givi
You did right by Orlando and you have given a wonderful home to Jackie. How did Miss Mitty get her name? (subtle change of topic to cheer you up.)
givi?
heh. soooo subtle
I tend to add Miss or Mr to names, I don’t know why, and not just cats.
My first sister-in-law was Miss Nettie
Miss Mitty, Miss KITTY Mitty
Apparently Live Journal doesn’t let you edit you comments after you accidentally post. “Givi” was going to be “giving”.
Giving would have been improper grammar and instead of backspacing I posted.
I’m used to adding “Miss” to names from back when my son was in daycare.
“All Palestinians who do not want to become tax paying Israeli citizens should be compensated for their real estate and given a one way ticket to Saudi Arabia.”
I send virtual Snape Bitchslap of Enlightenment. I’m sure the author of this statement is a very nice person and all, but this statement is just ignorant. No wonder you Head/Desk’d!
Miss you.
She actually had the nerve to say it was okay for her to write this since she was from the people who originally held that land.
I asked her if she was a Caananite. She hasn’t responded…
