A question about Palestine and Israel.

[T. A. Gardner]

What I would like to know, or see, is... What has Palestine and the Palestinians given to the world in the last, say, 4000 years?

Now, same question... What has Israel and the Jews given to the world in the last 4000 years?

I think that question tells a lot about the value of a civilization / society / people to the world in general.

Palestinians are ethnic Arabs. The contributions of classical Arabic civilization to world history are impressive and well documented.

Unless your ancestors were Greek or Italic Roman, your Germanic, Celtic, Slavic, or Brittonic ancestors were considered barbarians on the tapestry of world history for most of the last 4000 years.

When most people think of the word "Palestinian" they think of terrorism. Hijackers, mass murderers, suicide bombings and the like. It shouldn't be too difficult to understand why no nations on the planet, including the Arab nations, are opening their doors to Palestinian refugees from Gaza. Those in Gaza are a suicide cult where even the children are raised to think that dying as a martyr killing as many Jews as possible is the highest goal they can achieve.

In short, what the Palestinians have given the world is the mass murder of innocents.

The questions are no different than asking what the Germans, British, or Australians have given the world. You are just dodging the question because you don't like the obvious answers.

All true, but in this case, I think Terry is addressing the Palestinian culture. Specifically, the culture in a Gaza today.

In the US, more Palestinians are becoming radicalized. I expect some terrorist bombings and mass murders by them in within a year.

There are ~160,000 Palestinians in the US. Even if only 0.1% are radicalized enough to commit murder, that's 160 terrorists. Considering they need a network of supporters for provisions, training, protection, etc. then, using a factor of 10 means another 1600 Palestinian-Americans who seek to use terrorism against Americans. Even if the numbers are less than that, all it takes is one or two knuckleheads to kill a lot of Americans as Timothy McVeigh once proved.

That said, condemning 90 to 99% of a population because of a few idiots is akin to labeling anyone voting for Trump as a white supremacist domestic terrorist.

I think he specifically asked what they contributed in the last 4000 years.
