i have no idea what you are talking about here. i didn't deny anything.

But if you want to talk about denial, here is prominent PLO leader denying existence of Palestinians: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Zuheir_Mohsen . I guess he is racist ?

Also Mosab Hassan Yousef famously denies existence of Palestinians. Is he racist as well ?




I didn’t accuse you of denying the existence of Palestinans, I merely pointed out there are other people on this thread that do. Your rhetoric about the displacement of Palestinians as if there is only some free-market/free-choice dynamic at play, but not a systematic exclusion of Palestinians from certain parts of the city lends it self well with the people on this threat that go even further then you in their racist beliefs.

> Also Mosab Hassan Yousef famously denies existence of Palestinians. Is he racist as well?

Yes.

Regarding Zuheir Mohsen there is a difference when you deny your ethnicity in solidarity with your neighbors with a common cause, then when you deny the existence of an indigenous population who are suffering at the hands of an oppressive settler colonial power. Zuheir Mohsen is doing the former while Mosab Hassan Yousef is doing the latter. Only the latter is racist.


i had no rhetoric on displacement of Palestinians. On the other side you repeatedly ignore that segregation of Jerusalem and ethnic cleansing of Jews from there and entire west bank was result of Jordanian aggression.

There is no systemic exclusion of palestinians from certain parts of the city. Your proofs are random real-estate articles about new neighborhoods been build.

>Regarding Zuheir Mohsen there is a difference when you deny your ethnicity in solidarity with your neighbors with a common cause,

You should revisit the quote. he doesn't deny it in solidarity. He says that it was invented: "The Palestinian people does not exist … there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons[...] Once we have acquired all our rights in all of Palestine, we must not delay for a moment the reunification of Jordan and Palestine".

You also seems not to be familiar with Mosam Hassan Yousef. I'll suggest you to find some of his talks where he describes west bank in 80s and how things rolled from there.

To be honest, I find your rhetoric borderline racist, both towards jewish refugees that exercised their right of return and self determination and towards palestinians whom you deny any agency (you literally called palestinian racist towards palestinians, because you think that you understand local matters better) and touching base with blood libels
