Bill H, here's one for you...

Earlier in the thread, you were wondering something along the lines of "where's the Palestinians' Ghandi or Martin Luther King".

When you or any of the other few thousand people I've heard or read ask that question, you are linking the situation that the Palestinians find themselves in to the situations that the Blacks in the US South found themselves in during the period of US segregation and the people of India during the colonial period there, and the conditions they were subjected to that reqired a Martin Luther King or a Ghandi. The question I keep finding myself asking is this... where's Israel's Abraham Lincoln?

My "fuck you" response is between me and brucie, and it's none of your business.

Little Brother... no, those groups are not radical, left-wing organizations. They are human rights organizations. Just like the groups that worked for civil rights for Blacks in the US were human rights organizations, and the groups that fought against apartheid in South Africa were human rights organizations, and all of the other organizations around the world that fight for human rights are human rights organizations. During the period of segregation in the US South, civil rights workers like Martin Luther King were labled "radical" and "left wing". I'd say that label says a lot more about the mindset of those who throw it around than it does about those who are being labled.
