How is that anymore racist than claiming the same against Jews? shira Sep 2016 #13

The OP is factually accurate. Now will you answer me? n/t shira Sep 2016 #34

Are you suggesting that Palestinians don't have a right to live in their ancestral homeland? Little Tich Sep 2016 #10

Apparently you didn't read the post you responded to. aranthus Sep 2016 #21

Can you define indigenous status for the classroom? n/t shira Sep 2016 #14

The term "indigenous" is a vague concept that seems to have lost its original meaning. Little Tich Sep 2016 #15

Kinda worthless discussion if we can't agree on simple definitions. n/t shira Sep 2016 #17

It seems as if you're trying to avoid saying that you think that Palestinians are not indigenous Little Tich Sep 2016 #18

You keep bringing up Palestinians being descended from Canaanites, etc... shira Sep 2016 #28

You still having trouble answering simple questions? FBaggins Sep 2016 #16

And as has been pointed out to you in the past... FBaggins Sep 2016 #29

Perhaps we could dispense with the customary insults and provide evidence for our claims instead? Little Tich Sep 2016 #30

Where is the proof of this? aranthus Sep 2016 #22

I'm very concerned about the spreading of racist lies. Little Tich Sep 2016 #32

Criticizing settlements is fine but calling it colonialism as if Jews don't belong.... shira Dec 2016 #39

It has nothing to do with anyone being Jewish. Ken Burch Dec 2016 #40

I don't have a problem with legit criticism of settlements, but colonialism goes too far. shira Dec 2016 #41

I'm not sure they're against the existence of Israel within the pre-1967 lines. Ken Burch Dec 2016 #42
