You have "one" idea you want to beat me over the head with. But you're not even applying it properly, and then you misunderstand who I am as a person, assuming I'm a social conservative. I'm actually pretty center there.

Expand your mind with me!

To be fair, the impression of ethnocentrism which you give in this forum is often associated with social conservatism.

Please tell me what I can learn from Palestinian culture, that could enlighten me in any way at all.

If you can think of some things, then I might re-evaluate my position. But at this point in time, I don't see this as ethnocentrism, but rather as an obvious example of an inferior culture.

I'm *always* willing to learn, and am constantly searching for new ideas. Teach me something.

Can you be more specific? Culture is generally defined as the customs, arts, social institutions, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. Which of those elements to you find to be inferior?

Im simply asking anyone to show me something I can gain enlightenment from, or appreciation of, in regards to anything within Palestinian culture.

No one can show you that, it's a quest you will have to make for yourself. No doubt there are elements in any culture from which you could gain enlightenment from or appreciate. But, just as a suggestion, Palestinian culture offers us an example of resilient Nationalism which has lasted for over a century. Whether you can appreciate or gain enlightenment from it is up to you.

Which bit of Gazan culture is inferior?

Well, I can name many parts. Their patriarchal structure, religious fanaticism, LGBTQ persecution, nationalism, honor killings, discrimination, dysfunctional political and justice institutions, suppression of free speech, corruption, governmental mismanagement, lack of industry, lack of technology, lack of sports, lack of libraries, lack of music and a non-existent music industry, lack of education, poor economy, lack of nature and animal preservation, lack of arts, no sculptures, poor job opportunities... There are other things too.

...Can you name one single enlightening, charming, or interesting thing that Palestinian culture has to offer?

I tried as hard as I could to find something profound from Palestinian culture, but the best I could find were pottery and wood carvings...

But crafts like that are not exclusive to that region, and are quite common, and have been for tens of thousands of years, especially in China.

...So still nothing.

What a weird list. Palestinians had many of those things, now bombed to rubble. One of the universities destroyed was a branch campus of Al Azhar, a university older than any in Europe.

So Palestine, actually, would have been a fine model for "Israeli's" to have followed in the whole beginning then, because Palestinian culture is remarkable and outstanding? And is as good as any?

LOL. I don't see it. Sorry.

Landon Caeli · Friday at 8:49 PM

LOL, perhaps the United States should use Palestine as a model for our culture too.

Folks, in both the UK and the U.S., as well as most of the free world antisemitism has always been high.
And I suspect it will continue ramping up as we watch Jews return to their homeland.
But, we are not of this world.

It would have been as good as any other near eastern state subject to Western meddling. What it would have been without the meddling is hard to tell. The region once had a culture demonstrably more advanced than any in Europe at the time.

Tatreez.

Your position is hysterical.

Edit: I did a similar search for Israel and came up with ‘Uzi’.

Im surprised their religion allows them to do any kind of artwork, you see; because that's what Islam is... It's a culture destroyer. Or replacement.
