Razib confirmed Zionist. 

The Aryans were probably Zionists as well. IVC people were the original Palestinians. So it turns out Pakistanis are Arab after all.]]></description>

Razib,

Might it be that they are treated worse but paid better?

UAE treats far better {My favorite part is no income tax!}. Qatar does not treat as well. KSA treats worst.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Why not allow Israeli Palestine comments as long as they are respectful?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I didn&#039;t get the above controversy. To blame Fatah, Mustafa Barghouti, or more moderate Hamas people of instigating terrorism is a bit much.

But &quot;SOME&quot; Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Islamist leaders do engage in extremist rhetoric in Arabic that encourages terrorist attacks. [Without knowing Arabic grammar someone can easily learn a 1000 or more Arabic words and follow some of the emotions and themes behind Arabic sentences.]

Why is saying this controversial? Not arguing. Trying to understand. Can someone explain this to me?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Israel is even worse then Qatar as it’s founding was a deliberate act of ethnic cleansing on the part of Zionists (read State of Terror by Tom Suarez.) Israelis regularly murder, torture, occasionally rape, and make life severe and nearly unbearable for Palestinians daily. Furthermore they regularly expel Palestinians from their homes and settle Jews in them.

So Israel is worse then Qatar and it’s understandable you think otherwise-you are anti Islam and a conservative, why wouldn’t you side with those technologically advanced and civilized Jews (the ethnic cleansing is so easily ignorable ?)]]></description>

First of all, its not a myth that Palestinian violence against Israelis is based on anti semitism, poll after poll show that this attitude is not just limited to Palestinian territories but is also common in the entire world, ask an Arab Jew, oh you can&#039;t!!! Because they were kicked out of their homes, thanks to antisemitism in the region, which also included supporting Hitler&#039;s policies. 
And what rhetoric are you talking about??? 90%+ of the violence faced by &quot;minorities &quot; are from same &quot;minorities &quot;. More importantly, speech doesn&#039;t cause violence, speech is subjective and unquantifiable by its very nature, on the other hand violence has direct and real material consequences.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Agree 100% with the criticism against Tapper. 

We&#039;ve finally reached a breaking point (hopefully) regarding the rhetoric from the right in this country and the resulting intolerance and violence faced by minorities on the ground. Its a huge story dominating headlines, and Tapper can only talk about it by backhanding a minority (don&#039;t conservatives find it eww that they are acting like Palestinians?). 

Also subtly playing into the myth propagated by Israel and their supporters, that Palestinian antagonism towards Israel is rooted in antisemitism rather than occupation and ethnic-cleansing. A smear which itself is used to justify violence against Palestinians (in far greater magnitudes than anything Palestinians have done to Israelis).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[They get their pay from oil and gas revenues. The exploitation of S Asian labour is driven by the recruitment agents and subcontractors from their home countries who find and employ them. Treating the weak with indifference and casual and not-so-casual brutality is normal practice in Pakistan and probably not too different elsewhere in the region. Brick kiln workers are literally treated like slaves.with children having to start work there at 5 to help service debts accumulated by the family.
