No. I did not say that.
I said that, if their priority was survival on a basic level, then Arafats'ownership of fancy Limos didn't show much compassion for his followers.
In fact, it was you who said that maybe they hadn't formed peace groups because they were too busy trying to survive. I took that to mean survival on the basic human level and not on the political level.
If the survival effort was on the basic level, then the purchase of fancy cars and weapons makes little sense. If it was meant to be survival politically, that's a different story.
My humanity -or lack thereof- does not enter into the equation. I merely responded to what I saw as contradictions. I would respond the same way again. If you don't want to talk to me anymore, well, that's a shame as I rather like you and have learned a lot from the links you have posted. As I said earlier, just because I read it, doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
You have your POV and I have mine. I can disagree with someones stance without disliking them presonally.
If that were the case, Memsahib and I would never have lasted a year instead of celebrating our 20th on the First of May. She is somewhere to the Left of Mao and I think Attila the Hun was a wuss.
