Tell me Les, if you were speaking at a rally against Palestinian genocide, would you find it important to bring up the topic of Palestinian racism? I don't think so; You'd be run out of there very quickly. Poor timing and irrelevant!!! That is my point.
Or what if you were speaking with a group of African Americans on the slave trade? Would you find it necessary to bring up the irrelevant point that African leaders once helped the captors? Of course not. Poor timing and irrelevant again!
Further les, I find it amusing that you show no irritation when theone remarks on Arab racism, but years ago, when he exhibited similar insensitive behavior concerning African American youths shooting each other in Chicago, you and I both posted retorts. I guess when the shoes on the other foot, it's a different story.
One more point: theone's post entitled, "Here is why this is not my home" speaks volumes on the state of his mind. He has given up; he is broken, frustrated and angry. He complains and does nothing. He's dropped out.
I recall years ago going to a planning committee meeting during the Polish Solidarnosc years. The meeting took place at a Polish hall deep in the heart of the Milwaukee Polish community. I had recalled seeing that very same hall while marching in the fight for integration years before. I'll bet some of the Poles that threw feces on us while marching were now in that same room where we were organizing for Solidarnosc. Was I bitter like theone is now? Nope. It was an opportunity to build the movement, not hurt it more. That's what activists do.
theone's not an activist; he is a bitter armchair cynic in a world that is not his home.

Les, here is my reply to Maestro on this subject:
"""And I wasn't happy to read that there are prominent "Muslim" figures across the world who have publicly voiced support for Israel include Irshad Manji, Salim Mansur, Enes Kanter, Abdurrahman Wahid, Reza Pahlavi, Mithal al-Alusi, Kasim Hafeez, Abdullah Saad Al-Hadlaq, Zuhdi Jasser, Asra Nomani, and Khaleel Mohammed. This is intriguing when you see Jewish ppl fighting for the Palestinians.
I didn't know before that "Muslim Zionism" exist. Now of course there are thousands of Muslims who share the same views as those prominent Jewish figures who are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over the genocide in Gaza,..but then you also have these "immoral" Muslims who are of the same mind with Netanyahu, his cabinet, and all the bigoted Ashkenazi Zionists in Israel.""""
Les, can you please tell me in which paragraph above you see that I was trying to justify the genocide against Palestinians?? Nada!! Plus he's the one who replied to my post on Israel here, although he kept saying to me to ignore his Israeli posts which doesn't make sense coz when you post something/anything on this board you mean you want to engage in a conversation, share something of value to prompt "responses". So you should expect questions to be asked, you should expect "relatable" observations when you post a subject, etc.., then its up to the ppl to answer your post or ignore them. How about you ignoring my responses to your posts??
Not so clever, his "brain" is starting to show its true colors.
By the way, I give him(GM)credit on how he changed his views on Arabs especially the ones who enslaved the indigenous darkies in that part of the world, because when I first started posting on this board in 2006 I found him to be extremely "Anti-Islam" and spoke crap about Muslims, and he didn't give a damn about Palestinians just a few years before Oct 7th attacks. Although Palestinians have extremely suffered in the past under Ariel Sharon's reign where thousands were killed and massacred he was still an anti-muslim dude.
I believe what made him "unfeigned" today to the Palestinian cause all of a sudden, is his deep hatred of Aipac, Zionists, European Jews and also the "New Yorker" Jews in general. As for me he knows I'm not pro-Israeli nor pro-Palestinian, and I hope he understands that I am NOT pro-genocide either, and he should stop implying this before I forceful hit with a closed fist comes down on his face. LOL!!.
