The idea that the Palestinian people have only been able to persist because of their religion is ridiculous to me. They are resisting because colonialism, apartheid and genocide are very bad things to which nobody would want to be subjected, not because of Islam. If Palestinians were atheists, is he suggesting that they wouldn’t have the strength or the will to resist? Would their lack of a belief in the supernatural turn them into doormats for Isn’treal?
I like Hakim’s content, but his position on religion is quite frustrating. He is a Muslim first and a Marxist second. Also, Joram van Klaveren is still a right-winger.
No, you replied to me. As in directly to me.
I apologize if that’s an accident, but you did response directly to my comment.
It wasn’t targeted at you, but I intended to reply to you. You said what I said was bad material analysis so I said Hakim’s analysis was better than OP’s. I’m sorry that my hostility appeared targeted at you.
