MICHAEL PINE comments on TAPPED’s post on Israeli “colonialism:”

There is a deeper problem to the throwaway line, one that gets at the heart of how the Left’s obsession with race gets in the way of a truly progressive foreign policy. For there to be peace for the Palestinians and all Arabs in the Middle East, the United States and the West has to seriously engage in nation-building. Critics will call such efforts neo-colonial, and invoke the tired refrain of “white man’s burden,” of Americans “imposing” their values onto “brown” people. But if America’s own experience tells us anything, the rule of law, freedom of expression and democracy is desired and enjoyed equally by people of all races. It’s time to drop the shackles of post-colonial guilt, built off our advances in racial and gender equality and take up the Free Human’s Burden – to export liberty to all.

Yeah, this whole “racism” thing is stupid. Since when did palestinians become a “race?”
