“Every single signatory to this letter treated children in Gaza who suffered violence that must have been deliberately directed at them. Specifically, every one of us on a daily basis treated pre-teen children who were shot in the head.”

 

Several months after Hamas’ 2006 election victory, Haniyeh sent a letter to U.S. President Georg W. Bush, in which he called on the “American government to have direct negotiations with the elected government”, offered a long-term truce with Israel, while accepting a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders and urged an end to the international boycott, claiming that it would “encourage violence and chaos”.'. The U.S. government did not respond and maintained its boycott.

Etihad Rail is one component of the Gulf Railway that will connect: Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. So far it is the only part that is completed. Each country is responsible for its length of the railroad. The Arabian Gulf region is the least populated part of Saudi Arabia and therefore the Saudi length of the track is a low priority for the Saudi government and work is scheduled to start in 2026.

  1. Arabs at the rise of Islam already were speaking different dialects and so they took those differences with them.
  2. Different regions have had different influences, e.g. Coptic and Greek in Egypt, Punic, Latin and Amazigh in North Africa, Nubian in Sudan, and so on.
  3. 1400 years of divergent history, including different foreign rule in different regions.

I'm simply stating the facts as they are, it is not my fault that the Democratic Party lost Arab and Muslim American voters.

but I am absolutely willing to put off Palestine

How would this argument win over Arab and Muslim Americans? You are basically saying: "I don't care if you get genocided but you have to care about me". On the upside as the polls show, Trump is even more unpopular than Biden so you can't blame us if Trump wins, blame those who voted for him.

so I dont get shot

Arab and Muslim Americans are already getting shot. My personal recommendation is start exercising your 2nd amendment rights:

so you dont get deported

So be it but only if Darrell Issa is deported first

Brought to you by the only* democracy in the Middle East. If Israel is truly a democracy doesn't mean the people voted for genocide?

* not actually true

the Sahel countries too have a significant Arab minority but aren't part of the Arab League and not included in this map.

The highest point in Europe is actually in Asia, interesting...

No, the US has been an empire from the start. Unless you don't count conquering and colonizing the indigenous peoples because they aren't "civilized" or something.

She wasn't right about a lot of things, specially relating to the Middle East. Misguided at best, malicious at worst when it comes to the Middle East.

I do agree with you on the need for specialization to better suit children's ability

I have seen people use "unnecessary and pointless" for everything that you may study in high school from classics to calculus. I am thankful that I studied both.
