Subject: RE: BS: Gaza Strip 28/9 June 2006
During the 2nd world war nazi Germany invaded and occupied much of Europe and used terror tactics and repressive meaures to maintain control.The resistance used armed violence to fight back including assassinations, bombing of installations,wrecking of trains etc.
I don't think it is possible to equate the violence of the oppressor with the armed reistance of the oppressed.
Is the Israeli pilot who drops a huge bomb on a crowded street slaughtering dozens so very different from the suicide bomber wearing a bomb belt?
The Israeli pilot after he has aimed and fired goes home for his tea and flies and kills again.The Palestinian belt bomber driven in most cases by despair or revenge kills himself or herself in the act of killing others.Both sets of killings are disgusting and terrible.I never hear Zionists calling for the jet bombers to be disarmed or the tanks to be dismantled.
Look at the history of Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people......from the very first they were determined to drive out the Palestinians from their farms and cities.This was Zionist policy from the very beginning.
They claimed ,for public consumption that Palestine was a land without a people and the Zionists were a people without a lansd.How wrong they were but how they fooled world opinion ...at least for a while.
