WHY PALESTINIANS CAN GO TO HELL.
I fully agree with John Derbyshire when he writes,
"This is the context in which I see the Palestinians. The Palestinians are
Arabs; and the Arabs, whatever their medieval achievements (as best I can
understand, they were mainly achievements of transmission "Arabic"
numerals, for example, came from India) are politically hopeless. Who can
dispute this? Look at the last 50-odd years, since the colonial powers
left. What have the Arabs accomplished? What have they built? Where in the
Arab world is there a trace or a spark of democracy? Of constitutionalism?
Of laws independent of the ruler's whim? Of free inquiry? Of open public
debate? Where in your house is there any article stamped "Made in Syria?"
Arabs can be individually very charming and capable, and perform very well
in free societies like the U.S.A. There are at least two recent Nobel
prizes with Arab names attached. Collectively, though, as nations, the
Arabs are no-hopers."
All the anti-Semitic Europeans dance around this fundamental truth.
