re: #63 JohnCarroll

You speak of Arabs as a monolithic and cultural whole. They speak a “similar” language (Arabic has many dialects), but are as cohesive as a single country as the nations of Latin America. I don’t think Peruvians would agree to just accept a million Colombians into their country and call them Peruvian any more than Lebanon would just say “gee, sucks you lost your land, but you are “arab” so you can be lebanese now.”

Some Arabs have to be resettled after their brethren called them to leave Israel? Trillions of dollars in oils sales, vast tracts of land, and still they insist on maintaining a refugee class?

Cry me a fucking river.
