I thought Claude’s message was tasteful and showed grace to this douchecanoe. His refusal to treat his children properly is what has made this a reality show. Him staying quiet did so as well.
I wish him the worst and I hope his words choke him someday.

Now, in the case of Palestine, it is about just that, the land itself and its inhabitants.
Palestinians are in fact a historically heterogeneous, primarily Arab, indigenous group to the land historically called Palestine. Both an ethnicity and a historic nationality, both distinct facets.

Ethnonationalism, by the core of its design, beckons its worshipers to shun the fact of the heterogeneity.
The FACT that NO ethnic group needs an ethnostate to proper. And in fact ethnostates cause far, FAR more harm than any good.
They systemically cause ethnic cleansing and genocide.
