Israel/Palestine derail from Ferguson thread.

[Loren Pechtel]

Israel had carried out military decisions and discriminatory laws which impacted Palestinian natural resources and economic development, said the representative of the State of Palestine. By taking over his State’s resources, Israel had imposed full control on Palestinian trade and guaranteed that its economy would be almost completely subservient to Israel. Israel had also deprived Palestine World Trade Organization (WTO) benefits of 14.5 per cent for transport, transit and shipping fees of low‑income States.

"said the representative of the State of Palestine". In other words, simply accepting that the Palestinians say that Israel is doing this.

I know he is a dirty lying dark-skinned Palestinian.

Who do you want to talk about the Palestinian economy?

Somebody from the nation oppressing them?

Oppressors never lie.

It's not that he's a Palestinian, it's that he's speaking for a government whose normal output is lies.

This is like taking OJ's word for it that he didn't do it.
