(12,283 posts)and no i don't believe your have an open mind...as you stated earlier, people who don't believe like you do, you seem to disrespect their view and beliefs as if the 'don't count" "have be bought off" etc......that is not characteristic of someone with an open mind.
but enough of that...you seem not to have noticed that i am not claiming that the occupation is a positive thing
Do you seriously expect me to buy your argument that the Occupation is some how a positive thing for Palestinians?
you like to make up stuff, so you can make your arguments as comfortable as possible...for instance I never said your an apologist for hamas, yet for some reason you think i claim that.

what i am claiming is that in the hierarchy of values your far more nationalistic than "civil rights". You seem to believe that people should first and for most be governed by people of their own similar genetics (we'll ignore the racial aspects of that for now) and only after that can one address the fact that the citizens have to right to civil liberties.
I don't care what you "anti"....i'm far more fascinated in "how much" what is worse in your eyes, what is better.....
Clearly you still believe that the process that of israeli disengagement from gaza and their voting and hamas take over is acceptable to you as a Palestinian choice.
i'm just clarifying it. (and it has nothing to do with the occupation, just the process that you seem to believe in).
I understanding better now, that in the progressive world, the final result is actually not that important, what is important is the process....is that true?
