I'm against what they're doing to the Palestinians, BUT.........

"as both parties and the Arab world are admixtures of ancient Blacks and later populations."
That's an undeniable fact!
Just study the family dynamics of the Saudi royal family in terms of skin pigmentation.. the same admixture dynamics are present in Yemenis, Syrians, Kuwaitis, Egyptians, Iraqis, Libyans, etc.
For example, study the admixture dynamics of the African/Black Diaspora in the 'new world': Our African ancestors were Black in the literal sense, but in less than 300 years see how our skin tone has changed because of the forced European/African entanglements. NOW IMAGINE what has happened in the so-callled Middle East over a period of hundreds & thousands of years of admixture, yet we still see vivid traces of the original African presence (physiognomy) in the modern region - (check out an image of Prince Bandar bin Sultan Al Saud of the Saudi Royal family, can anyone deny his African/blackness?).
"The Palestinians, meanwhile, could show more respect to our history as well.."
I totally reject the premise of that statement! First off, the majority of modern Palestinians probably have no clue of their connection to Kemetic civilizations - its not taught in their school curriculum - just as modern Sudanese & Egyptians are not educated on the ancient African civilizations in Egypt and Sudan. That's changing a bit.
NOW IMPORTANTLY, why should Palestinians show more respect to our history THAN WE DO OURSELVES? Why hold Palestinians to a higher standard than we hold ourselves? What's up with that? At this point in time, the Black diaspora in general show no respect to both our ancient & modern history. For a while - during the Black is Beautiful & Black consciousness movement - we were in touch with ourselves and our history, that's no longer true!
To be frank about it, i'm deeply bothered that every time Palestinian suffering is mentioned or referenced on this LLC Board, there's a caveat which subtly mitigates the ongoing genocide they're going through. Come on already!
Sighhhh, that's off my chest!
