Rich and Strange Aeons

That's bullshit lies, and you're smart enough to know better. Gaza was never given independent control of its borders and airspace; Israel simply tried pulling out of the ghetto and letting it fester in containment.

That's honest truth, and you're smart enough to know better, so you're basically admitting yourself an anti-Semitic liar. Gaza was turned over to the Palestinians lock, stock, and barrel. The Israelis did not remain in occupation of any part of that territory, staying on their OWN side of the border to prevent raids into Israeli territory, as was their right and is the right of any sovereign Power.

The Palestinians promptly wrecked their own farms, elevated Hamas to rulership over the area, and then raided and bombarded Israel until the Israelis launched a punitive attack and besieged the Gaza. This is all a matter of recent occurrence and public record; you can only claim ignorance of this if you are seriously stupid or inattentive to world affairs.

But then, you're capable of writing "but then the Turks are beasts, as has been plain since 1915, and deserve little sympathy at the best of times", so your bigotry is plain.

Bigotry against whom?

In fact I do not believe that "the Turks are beasts," I was merely pointing out the issue which everyone has ignored in their willingness to believe in Turkish humanitarianism ...

... namely, that not a century ago they murdered a MILLION innocent civilians, and have not merely never apologized for it, but treated it as an offensive diplomatic action to even mention it.

You have such deep sympathy for the Palestinians, I compliment you for such caring, which is clearly not fuelled by any anti-Semitism. Yet oddly enough, you seem to have absolutely NO sympathy for the Armenians, who were murdered. Or the Kurds, who are being murdered right now, by those very same wonderful humanitarian Turks.

Why the discrepancy?
