Now, your position has been that there are no "real Palestinians, only
Arabs." You are factually incorrect. Your belief that there are no
Palestinians is, at best, wishful thinking on your part. There have, in
fact, been massive landgrabs and human rights abuses in Palestine. No
way the west can win in the end. Is it really worth the endless deaths?
Time to cut US losses.

Skipper,
I thought you wanted to stay away from political arguments

Nothing argumentative, just facts:

The Sykes-Picot Agreement - 1916:

It is accordingly understood between the french and British governments:
That France and great Britain are prepared to recognize and protect an
independent ***Arab*** states or a confederation of ***Arab*** states
(a) and (b) marked on the annexed map, ***under the suzerainty of an
Arab chief***. That in area (a) France, and in area (b) great Britain,
shall have priority of right of enterprise and local loans. That in area
(a) France, and in area (b) great Britain, shall alone supply advisers
or foreign functionaries at the request of the ***Arab*** state or
confederation of Arab states.

--

And for those of us who saw the movie Lawrence of Arabia, let's not
forget how the west screwed the Arabs by implementing a mandate system
in ***their*** lands.

Is it any wonder the Arabs are upset?

Skipper,
It appears your motivation for posting is to troll for fights, this is
not conducive to your stated desire for a boating NG, but also
diminishes the value of any of your boating related posts for any new
members to rec.boats. You are proving Harry correct, when he said you
had no desire for a boating NG.

Why are you again blaming others for Skippy's terrible behavior here John?

Skippy has managed to insult just about every member of this NG. He is not
welcome here. Please stop facilitating his behavior and start ignoring him.

Read carefully. Skipper, et al, troll. Others take bait. None of that crap
belongs here.

If you will notice, *I* did not respond to Skippy, as I have more sense.

JohnH,

We've both tried to have reasonable discussions with Skipper. Neither of us
have been successful. There's only one place for him, as I've yet to see
*anything* worthwhile from him.

It would be nice if a few others would do the same thing.

I have been telling you this all along. Glad to see you finally got it

Sense? Did you say sense? That sorta reminds me of another East Coast
crap story. Boston, yeah, Boston, that's where it was. Actually, Harvard
in Cambridge to be more precise. Was browsing the Harvard Book Store one
evening when the Professor said, major developmental software cannot be
produced on a budget/schedule. I positioned otherwise. Well, next
morning we assembled the leadership team and everyone agreed the
Professor was right...but then, 12 hours later after we *detailed* every
task needed to complete the project, we had a master schedule AND
budget...critical paths 'n all. A few days later we had the schedule
tiered to four (4) levels.

So you see, sense can be a thing of perspective and understanding...even
for the PHDs.

Any fool can produce a schedule and budget, the trick is to deliver
completed software on time, fully debugged.

There are many who can talk the talk, very few who can walk the walk.
