- 9/11 did irreparable damage to the Palestinian cause
- allowing the Israelis, the west and the media to paint the Palestinian struggle into a battle between Islam and Judaism has done irreparable damage to the Palestinian cause for an independent and viable nation.
There are many Palestinians who are non-muslim and their sense of injustice is no different. These people should be highlighted. Palestinian Christians should be sent as envoys and lobbyists around the world...to show the world - hey, we're Palestinians too. We stand side by side by our brothers of a different religion and our struggle is for something to call our own not religion.
The PLO and early Palestinian resistance groups had lots of non muslims in key positions...but, sadly, they've been shoved to the background as more and more the Islam/ummah angle was played up.
Surely, we have to understand that's a strategy for nailed on defeat in the world we live in today. Hell, I fear the Serb genocide of Bosnian muslims would have continued unabated if it was happening today instead of before 9/11.
