Comments on: No human owned it first http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/2008/12/05/no-human-owned-it-first/ Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:30:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Boulos http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/2008/12/05/no-human-owned-it-first/comment-page-1/#comment-40811 Boulos Sun, 07 Dec 2008 02:16:09 +0000 http://www.rebelliousarabgirl.net/?p=3946#comment-40811 This is why I try to stay away from arguments on the internet, there are just too many people willing to hide behind anonymity to actually have a complete conversation without it breaking into monkeys throwing feces. I can claim that there is no such thing as a Japanese person, I could make the same claim to any other ethnic/national/racial group. Does this or should this matter? Ethnic and national ties are the same as religious. If someone converts from Judaism to Buddhism are they not Buddhists? People actively choose what nationality they want to be. I could move to China, in three generations my offspring would think of themselves as Chinese regardless of their physical traits. People who seek to dismiss the idea of Palestinian nationalism based on whether we were ever self governing need to go have conversations with people of Polish or Vietnamese heritage. Technically they never existed prior to the last century either. fin This is why I try to stay away from arguments on the internet, there are just too many people willing to hide behind anonymity to actually have a complete conversation without it breaking into monkeys throwing feces.

Seems odd that I have to turn to an Australian comic for inspiration, but people arguing over who owns the land is like fleas arguing over who owns the dog.

But I don't think that it's the Israelis who are saying that any more, or believing it. Identity comes from within and within the group, not from outside.
