This is so much weak sauce.

Every president repeats this stuff about respecting Palestinians, it's their actions which are different.

I love the way they think a US president in the 60s would have given 2 shits about arab rights or any other such local concerns. Kennedy didn't even want to address civil rights in his own country until his hand was forced. There's a big myth around how progressive he was.

Same old "a great leader will save us" nonsense from backwards Arabs.

You have to save yourselves by dragging your own countries up to the standards of the West and kicking out big men leaders.

Yeah, if JFK was around today, he would be considered right wing in many ways. This can always be used to counter the absurd claim that "the parties have moved right." What?

And there were no "civil rights" that needed to be "addressed" in the US. You are just following the gross narrative that the "Civil Rights" BS was good. They had as much to do with "civil rights" as the Patriot Act had to do with patriotism. They actually removed civil rights, notably from business owners.

And what standards of the West? Giving sex change operations to children?
