Nofear Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 12 minutes ago, The Nehor said: He comes out swinging with Palestinians aren’t a people. I stopped listening at that point. Setting aside that you misrepresent his position, the "I stopped listening" tells me all I need to know about your understanding of the situation so I too can stop listening. Though, to be honest, I stopped listening to The Nehor long ago (granted, the intentionally provocative humor is sometimes, once in a blue moon, amusing*). I cited him as an example of a provocative figure in the Middle East -- not biblical prophesy type or such, but just history (albeit very pro-Israeli history). * If you're interested. AwakenWithJP is very much in the vein of your style of humor. Unfortunately, he usually approaches things from a very conservative point of view... meh. But, he does hawk some CBD oil at the end of one of his videos... so there's that.

Starting out with “Palestinians aren’t a people” isn’t going to go anywhere good. 1
The Nehor Posted November 7, 2023 Posted November 7, 2023 I watched some more while working out. He starts whining about how other refugees integrate into the societies they move into while the Palestinians hold on to their refugee status for generations ignoring the cold harsh reality that these refugees still lack a national home. The West Bank is still ‘legally’ conquered but unannexed land. They live there without many basic human rights and they CANNOT LEAVE. Similar situation in the Gaza Strip. They are still refugees because they don’t have a homeland. They don’t have citizenship anywhere. Treating the Palestinians as a bunch of whiners that claim to be refugees because they are just babies and won’t get over it is so stupid that this guy should be laughed off the internet. Sadly it is the internet so people praise him for his ‘intelligent breakdown’ of the situation. I hate the post-truth world and wish to burn it all down now.

Consistent with the "Seriously No Politics" I can't engage further with this topic. I appreciate the more thoughtful response nonetheless. Note, that for the record I'm not endorsing his position. Indeed, I used him as an analog of "biblical prophesy nuts" (just more secular). 1
