          Firstly, I will ask again, are you saying that he never supported Pissrael, or that he has been doing so but not ‘blindly’? You seem to be very eager to avoid clarifying that.

          He literally had Arabic University Administrators as close personal friends

          So what? This reads like the classic ‘I can’t be racist, I have a black friend’ kind of nonsense.

          We are bland and peaceful people. We don’t even go to war for our own country because of our religious beliefs

          You are fine enjoying the fruits of colonial conquest and exploitation, though.

          But I’m a pacifist as is most of my family

          So, what you are saying is that you would not be fine standing up to your empire’s colonialism, and that you just want to enjoy the subjugation of poor people and foreigners in peace?
          Is there anything good to your ‘pacifism’ other than not joining your genocidal military, which is the bare minimum that should be expected of a decent human being?

              I can’t say I don’t have colonialism in my blood

              We aren’t talking about ‘in your blood’ stuff. Your empire is currently engaging in colonialism. And you and your friend are beneficiaries of such.

              I fought pollution in the most polluted river in the country. And I try and limit my impact on the environment besides my car

              Individual solutions to systemic problems are generally silly and ineffectual.
              To actually fight pollution, you would need to tackle your empire and capitalism in general.
