A Palestinian MLK

Does Palestine need an MLK-like figure? Or for that matter... do middle eastern Arabs need an MLK figure? Or perhaps a Gandhi would be more appropriate? Would non-violent protest work in the middle east? I feel like it would. The Palestinians are doing nothing for their cause my running bombs into Israel. They need to stage hunger strikes and sit-ins. Wouldn't your view of the Palestinian cause become more sympathetic if they all of a sudden started marching in mass for a sit in at the gaza-israli border?
Have there ever been any such figures and have they worked?

I dont support Palestine at all. I think they have one of the most disgusting cultures on the planet.
A decade or two of non-violence would sure as hell alter my point of view.
Palestine is fucked up because of their violent and hateful culture. They would have no reason to protest or march if they adopt nonviolence, because the solution to their problems would already be at hand.

Ghandi convinced India to just stop everything until the British conceded defeat and returned India to the Indians, it truely was a beautiful thing when the Muslim Indians said "we are taking over india, we will kill every last one of you and we could care less if you fight or not, your pacifism will just make it easier"
so yeah, I believe it would work for the middle east

That is an excellent and perfectly to the point description of the birth of Pakistan. I'm sure it probably wasn't a tremendously good idea to put all the murderous fuckwads in one nation together. Surely critical mass must be obtained at some point. But, you have to ask yourself, if you were a Hindu Indian back then, wouldn't YOU have done anything just to get rid of the fuckers?

Doesn't Israel kill alot of Palestinians? I'm pretty sure those murderous fucktards do.
I think they are both fucking retarded, but I feel that Palestine may have the better argument, and hence, a more legitamized reason to kill Israelites.

Pretty much only the one's holding rockets and their human shields. As opposed to cafe goers and market shoppers and bus riders.Quote:

Why? I think exactly the opposite. I am not aware that there is an Israeli campaign to wipe out Palestinians. There is a Palestinian campaign to wipe out Israelis. Have you ever wondered why none of the Arab states will have anything to do with these monsters? Even the Arabs know they suck.

Yes they do need an MLK figure. Israel will only be kind to that don't attack its citizens. They gave Egypt their land back because Egypt was going apeshit. Gaza was returned after the suicide attacks stopped but as you can see now there are tons of rockets coming from Gaza so Israel will not stop blockading Gaza until Gaza learns from the past.

I don't think this reflects too much of the situation as it is now Israel does kill a lot of Palestinians and a lot of it has to do with obstruction of trade and travel as much as it has to do with military reasons. They likely kill more innocent civilians than militant jihadis.

Many of these states do posture with Israel Iran is a good example of this but more to the point Palestine is a rallying cry for militant Islamic youth. It's where they go to be myrtars and their families are quite proud of them when they do.
On the subject of Israel's campaigns to wipe out Palestinians you may want to look at their water source sabotage actions in Palestine and the totality of trade restrictions imposed on Palestinians. You may subsequently wonder why Israel sends "Settlers" to it's borders with Palestine and what happened to the previous occupants of the land.
I don't think either side should have the right to impose itself over the other over the land. It just turns out Israel is winning at this feat now. I suspect if the Palestinians were on the offensive they would not feel that there was much to be gained from peace talks as they do now.

Nowhere on that site does it quantify the amount of innocents killed.
Regardless, amount of innocents killed does not lead to who is right or wrong, or who broke the agreement last.

Are you asking what I believe is right and wrong? I believe that the side supporting a two state solution is right and the one supporting a one state solution is wrong.
Sending children to die doesnt make a side right anymore than having superior technology makes a side wrong.

When the rocket firers launch their missiles from school buildings into the middle of towns are you just supposed to take it? When the inevitable response comes, who is culpable for the deaths? If some guy holding a baby pulls a gun and shoots at you do you shoot back? Do you call your mom? Why do you hate Jews?

Hating on Israel is not hating jews. Many nice jewish people are ashamed of what Israel does with Palestine.

It is certainly true that hating on Israel is not the same as hating on Jews by definition. But given the conditions the only rational explanation for condemning Israel for its actions vis a vis the situations I outlined is, in fact, Jew hating. All other explanations degenerate into nonsense after two sentences. You can certainly take issue with some of the settlements but firing back at assholes sending rockets is not just cause. The rockets are coming from Gaza, which they did give back.
Many nice Jewish people are morons. I know several.

what's supposed to protect the villages from the IDF with their bulldozers, are they not allowed to protect their homes, their lives and livelihoods? Why is Israel violating UN resolution in order to move 'settlers' into these occupied territories. What about when Israel blockades a town preventing medical treatment from reaching the injured, what would you do if your home were occupied by an aggressor
