And an idea imposed from without, on the terms of a conqueror, won't ever really take hold in the minds of the conquereddo you want to be shown where your wrong?
its a simple question, instead of going off on a long explanation of why i am wrong, filled with wrong assumption after wrong assumption after wrong assumption, wrong historical facts one after the other after the other after the other...
just answer the question....then i'l go and show where your are wrong....but you have to read what i write and not ignore it so that you can't make false arguments to justify your beliefs.

I get the impression that you believe western democracy, your version, is clearly the ultimate end, is the superior governing system, i.e. its better than theocratic regimes, dictatorships, communist systems etc
is that a fair assessment of your view of the various systems in existence today?....what you believe is "the best."
I'll make this even clearer: when you define other governing systems as 'repressive" that means you believe they are bad governing systems, and yours is a better one.

and this is one of my favorite sentences:
So stop acting like you have to silence me.
why would i want to silence you...i'm educating u, that requires dialogue
( i could say that is another example of your elitism, being challenged is equal, in your mind, to an attempt at being silenced)

and just for fun...
How is it not "religious" to believe, as you appear to, that Arabs and Muslims will prefer dictatorship UNLESS FORCED TO MAKE SOMETHING ELSE BY SOMEONE ELSE?
you keep writing this as if i believe it...its not and I believe this is the 100th time i mentioned it, hence the question, why to do you keep on writing it?.....a short answer will do

Throwing rocks at soldiers is fine, throwing rocks at civilians is unacceptable.

Does the rock-throwing justify keeping Palestinians away from Palestinian-OWNED land?

Perhaps some rock throwing, at some time, justifies any IDF action against Palestinians anytime?

The problem is, you see YOUR belief(that is, defense of the "lesser evil" by any means necessary)

The statement is double talk as the British Palestine mandate included all of the West Bank

I think you're a provocateur, and that you are everything the IDF soldier represents in this video.

It's your nature to be an internet coward, always deflecting. So I don't blame you. n/t

If there is a war going on, and enemy soldiers arrived near my house, armed up.
