Thread Name: BS: Taleban Blow Up Schools
Subject: RE: BS: Taleban Blow Up Schools
"aye so did the Jews in Gaza now how can anyone justify that, the killing of innocent men, women and children and hamas as well, and yet there was hardly anyone condeming this country Israel and yet they get away with it everytime and it has to stop."

It is totally different, although equally distressing.

If Israel had never been attacked, ever, they would have lived their whole lives in peace, alongside other nations. But they were never allowed to do that, and so for decades they have been attacked repeatedly by numerous nations. They've had their own people killed, until they have almost 'mentally' broken and we have reached this terrible stage.

The Israelis have never attacked their own schools, or blown them up, in the sole purpose of stopping their women from being free. They have never demanded that their women hide away from life, dress in boiling hot burkhas, keep their bodies and faces shut away from the world, because they are nothing more than items which 'belong' to their men. The Israelis treat their women as equal citizens, and without them, they'd not have the country they have. They thrive on education, but have never been allowed to just 'thrive' in life.

Some of the countries who attack Israel see their women as something to be owned and controlled. Sometimes, they are little better off than slaves. They often get beaten and some live a very hard life. They have been kept down for centuries.

The Taleban are people who want to control their women and keep them down for centuries to come, and they will stop at nothing to ensure they are kept from learning that the world has moved on from medieval times.
