Quote:i would suggest some self help books could be very useful to the palestinians.
they are stuck in "victim mindset" which lefties perpetuate.
i am an enormous fan of dubai and of singapore
2 of my favourite places.
both built from nothing 2 generations ago.
singapore built from a brutal occupation.
if the palestinians can cast of the anchor of people like matty fisk advising them and get some mentors from fellow arabs in dubai, then the sky is the limit.
what one man can do, another can do.
but they have to give up the complaoning and the sooking and the attachment to negative emotions
this will be difficult
emotional states are soooooo addictive.
perhaps a 1000 schoolkids from gaza could be sent to singapore and to dubai and in 10 years time, get them back and establish them as a ruling consortium.
certainly , for a child to stay in gaza under the care of complaining beaten down losers like the palestinians and complaining beaten down losers like the lefty intellectual aid organisations is a fate worse then death.
i will shoot this off in an email to the palestinian authority.
you still need to supply me with their web address
True. They'd also have to cast away Israel's blockade.
After that, all good. Palestine can open up the region's new trade and travel hub. Airports, shopping malls, luxury car showrooms. Maybe Disney could open up a new theme park.
I know one thing, dear. I'll be watching
Housewives of Gaza for sure.
You?
youre cynical
let me tell you what cynicism is .
its a defense mechanism to protect the ego of someone who has not lived their dreams
maybe in the past they tried and failed and so they gave up trying because the pain was too much.
"if you never try, you never have to feel the pain of failure"
i reject that plan for the palestinian people.
maybe the old ones are cynical but the young ones, can indeed, create a dubai and you are a bad man if you crush their dreams
in life you will go one of 2 ways
you will get bitter (cynical) or you will get better (aspirational)
there are no other options
Good point. Let's not crush the Palestinian children's dreams.
1948, 1967, 1973, 1997, 2003, and on and on. At what point do you give in?
When Mother pulls out and puts Yehova in charge? When Yehova takes your land and ships your friends off to permanent refugee camps in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt? When His followers import Americans to squat on your land, fence you in, cut off your supplies, direct surveillance cameras and automatic machine guns into your backyard and throw their rubbish into your last few metres left of space?
How about when they cut off all food, water, medicine, fuel, power and internet, then tell you to move south so they can blow up everything you have left, including your friends and family who can't leave?
Never ever, I say. Thoughts and prayers, innit.
You've gotta have a dream, no?
