Bro I for a change understand the points your trying to make. Looking at the world from a realistic point of view is different than an imaginery point of view.
All I can say is that I am deeply saddened by the incredible mix of naivete, zealotry, and self-delusionary idealism in dealing with the ongoing carnage, all heightened by an utter inability to translate any of those thoughts into tangibly useful actions, from just about all the posters here.
This issue has been a long time coming to its present crisis, and it is now so complex and emotionally charged for both sides, that any sort of realistic solution, or even any improvement, to reduce the needless pain and suffering is exceedingly difficult.
At least having a calm and rational discussion should be possible, but even that is not easy given the experience here thus far.
We live in hope, as they say.
Ottomans werent colonists otherwise you and your parents were speaking Turkish now.
The definition of colonism is what France is doing now, maintaining the Central Banks of 14 African countries (former colonies).
You believed the Ottoman were colonists and stabbed them in their back and kicked them out while you took the real colonial powers in.
Teaching 16 year old Arab nationalists about colonialism is a very hard job.
You need to zip the insults, posters here are doing a lot to support the Palestinians, sending money, publicizing the atrocities, countering the propaganda etc. What you should be doing is condemning the heinous crimes being committed in Gaza by the Jews. Those who can will and there are plenty of them. The crimes are being committed by a superpower using the most lethal weaponry known to man which the gullible masses were told would be used against other super powers. Instead these weapons are being used against defenseless women and children and the whole world is stunned. The area of Gaza is 10 miles X 14 miles and they have dropped more bombs on them than WW2. With incessant 24/7/365 days of Zion propaganda from childhood to the grave peoples hearts have turned to stone that's the way they have been conditioned. The tide will turn and inshallah the people will be free.All I can say is that I am deeply saddened by the incredible mix of naivete, zealotry, and self-delusionary idealism in dealing with the ongoing carnage, all heightened by an utter inability to translate any of those thoughts into tangibly useful actions, from just about all the posters here.

Colonialists always say they do a great job, have you ever seen or heard a self critical colonialist?The Ottomans were a great nation. Its too bad it ended. Middle East was doing well under Ottomans. Now look what has happened to Iraq, Syria, and Palestine.
It's not a betrayal. You as a Pakistani might revel in the idea of being ruled by others. The Arabs don't. They wanted to rule their own lands. It was great thy were able to kick out the Ottoman colonists.
'Arab betrayal of Ottoman'
It was the standard divide and conquer approach of the European colonialists.
They egged on the Arabs to 'liberate' themselves and rule their own lands as Arabs. Then, when the Turks were defeated, the Europeans divided the Arabs into Syrians and Jordanians and Saudis and Kuwaitis and ....
They did to the Arabs what the Americans later did to Afghan collaborators, i.e. stab them in the back after using them for their own purposes.
