Chas Krauthammer: Media to blame for ignorance on IS-Paleo Conflict
2014-07-29
Our liberal media has been a tool of the left for decades.

#13  Lots of different tribes. Palestinians are one set of tribes. Other Arab tribes go through the motions of claiming brotherhood with them against the "uppity" Jews, but to have them live next door? "They're not my tribe."
Plus they seem to make bad neighbors, as Jordan and Lebanon and Kuwait and Egypt discovered.

#12  *My apologies for the graphic. All attempts at right-sizing failed.

Fixed. After
valign=top
add in
width=500
then click on Preview to make sure it is still makes sense visually.

We will not discuss how many years it took me to recently discover this particular bit of cleverness, 'k?

#9  Might not make much difference in Somalia if all the Paleos went there.

#6  Hey, you did a better job with the graphic than I could. I don't have a clue how you post a graphic in a comment.

#5  My assessment as well John. Must be somewhere they could live in isolation and peace.

*My apologies for the graphic. All attempts at right-sizing failed. I thought it worthy of noting anyway.

#4  The fact is Besoeker, they really don't like each other all that much either. When not killing the infidel, they are killing each other. It would seem they just like killing.

#2  And along comes Black September and the Jordanians go medieval on them for their rude crude behavior as guests.

Neither Jordan nor Egypt wanted the Paleos back when Israel wanted to give them back after the war. Sort of ought to tell you something that, no?

#1  True. A bit of history would be nice

Ottoman empire -> British mandate palestine

1949 Britain splits it

Palestinian jews -> israel. ; palestinian muslims -> jordan

So the paleos should go to jordan since they want to be muslims
