It's been on my mind for a while now

    With that being said, I'd like to start with stressing on the fact that we cannot look @ anything without taking to account it's history, I have a history, This website have a history, And everything else does,
    so let us not forget that after the first world war, it was the french and the brits, who sliced up the middleast and north africa with no respect or empathy for the indigenous people of these lands.

    what i'm talking about today is a problem with the world as a whole, a problem with imperialism, a problem with a system that places importance and priority on big business ahead of human life,
    and it just so happens that the human life that we're talking about @ this moment are predominantly Palestinian, That is the case now

    so, Colonization is far from finished where flags have been replaced by huge big corporations,
    this is what we're dealing with, and we're neither stupid or ignorant and we should never fool ourselves about it.

    a point i'd love to make is that, Most parts of the main stream media which acts with very right wing interest, so it's within their interests to demonize and dehumanize PALESTINIANS!!!! FULL STOP

    because when you dehumanize a Peron, you can justify any crime you carry out upon them,
    because they are not human, and they're not as privileged as you. so if you notice what they'll point out is physical differences, this is what they'll try to make you feel passionate about,
    BUT really it's not the physical differences, it's not the ideology, and it's not our choice of faith they have a problem with.

    it's the politics, because they understand, they know
    deep down, that we as Muslims,Arabs or Palestinians are angry, and that we should be angry
    this is what they have a problem with,
    and this is what they're afraid of
    so they're going to point out the physical differences
    but they couldn't care less,
    they couldn't care less how a nun dresses,
    they couldn't care less how a Jewish man dresses ,
    so why is it Muslims?

    So basically this campaign of constant demonizing.
    how and what does it serve?
    well it serves to justify and encourage what is essentially an abhorrent foreign policy,
    and in the widest scheme, it serves to exonerate any blame,
    so when you hear these words such as
    a thousand Syrian people dead, You, My dear reader become Desensitized to the words "Syrian dead" you become desensitized because it's almost part of every day life.
    for example, On Wednesday the 30th of June, you hear 80 Syrian people have been massacred,
    and on Thursday, the 1st of July, one very talented american musician is dead, yet you see a much bigger outgrow of grief for that one human being than for 80 human beings in one day, IN ONE DAY
    so The point I want to make is that you must realize that a life is a life, and a human being is a human being
    and the same value must be attached to all human life
    and once that happens, then equality will become a reality, and we all can live in peace and harmony how we should.

    Thank you very much
    and i appreciate the time spent reading this.
    I can't wait to hear your feedback.

    This link exactly serves my point

    You want to dehumanise a population
    This is the way you do it
    By portraying to the people that these massacres are within the everyday norm
    So what do they do
    They make a game about it
    Where you as a user can join in with the fun while you kill
    Terrorists
    Disgusting is what this is

    I love when someone talks so much and yet says nothing more than wicked lies..
    It is a special gift for sure but I will choose not to continue with my personal dehumanization...

    "it was the french and the brits, who sliced up the middleast and north africa with no respect or empathy for the indigenous people of these lands."

    I cannot believe that you left out Europe from your list! Really, The Treaty of Trianon has only "touched 50mill peeps!?!??!
    You are preaching about history, respect, empathy and yet your view narrows down only to the subjects that close to your heart ~smiles~

    "what i'm talking about today is a problem with the world as a whole, a problem with imperialism,"

    Imperialism has many flaws for sure but your statement made me wonder how far would have we, Humans be as of today if we would have not been introduced to Western political and economic dominance? Lets face it, Imperialism has given us the Freedom, the Creativity, the Opportunity to make something New without being prosecuted... Let me give you some examples that will rock your boat: woman being equal to man, gay rights... Israel had the world 3rd woman prime minister! Don't even get me going on the more technical revolution! Steve Jobs (RIP), Elon Reeve Musk and Bill Gates comes to mind right away..

    "it's the politics, because they understand, they know
    deep down, that we as Muslims,Arabs or Palestinians are angry, and that we should be angry
    this is what they have a problem with,
    and this is what they're afraid of
    so they're going to point out the physical differences
    but they couldn't care less,
    they couldn't care less how a nun dresses,
    they couldn't care less how a Jewish man dresses ,
    so why is it Muslims?,"

    After reading this little sentiment I lost interest in reading the rest of your post for you just proved your ignorance...

    Oh wait!!!!

    "so they're going to point out the physical differences"

    What are we now, Hitler or something hahaha
    "they couldn't care less how a nun dresses,
    they couldn't care less how a Jewish man dresses"

    Priceless haha.. What a miserable observation...
    I appear like most of the world, well maybe Im a bit above ~smiles~
    and that is just because I love to flow with the trend

    Excuse me but do explain as to why your rather find me oblivious, i'd be anxious to know,
    and why is it miserable observation? it's valid
    "http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/jun/18/woman-killed-footpath-attack-muslim-dress-colchester"

    maybe not in Canda but I couldn't say the same about other parts of the world,

    and If I may add, Even if it isn't valid, Does it take away from the argument of Demonizing us?
    let me ask you this, with as many times as you've frequently heard, Death In Lebanon, or Palestine, Or Iraq and it's 1 million+ deaths in the previous occupations, did you even flinch?
    has your reaction been the same if it was your kind being maimed and slain?
    trust you happen to see the world from a different rare view if that were to be the case

    "did you even flinch?"

    If you would let yourself see my falling tears for all the lives we have lost over this you would hug me... and Im talking about EVERYONE unlike you.. ~deep sigh~
    I hate, HATE war, death...
