Reader comment on: On Campus: The Pro-Palestinians' Real Agenda Submitted by Aston Kwok, Jul 11, 2009 06:43 Fascinating observation about the difference between the Arab/Muslim community and the non-Arab pro-Palestinian crowd. I generally don't have time for the pro-Palestinian westerners (as well as those pro-Zionist Christians). My stereotypes of them is that they are generally filled with opinions rather than solid facts, and are so fixated on a particular narrative that they are not able to consider the many nuances in this conflict. This is not to say that such problem does not exist among Palestinians/Arabs and the Jewish community. However, the key difference is that Palestinians and Jews have a direct stake in the conflict, so even their misconceptions are worth listening to, and they are more likely to be aware of the nuances in the conflict. The 'typical' pro-Palestinian westerners (and pro-Zionist Christians) are intellectually dull and lazy, as evidenced by some of the responses you have been getting.Note: Comments are screened, and in some cases edited, before posting.
