Thread Name: Palestine (continuation)
Subject: RE: Palestine (continuation)
Are you really trying to absolve the Israelis from the leading part they played in the Sabra/Shatia massacres by claiming - they did it as well.
Apart from yourself, everybody here is deploring the violence in the Middle East and arguing for a peaceful solution - you are claiming consistently that Israel is innocent of any human rights violations whatever
You have supported massacres of civilians as "self defence", chemical weapons used in built-up areas as "illuminations", described the role of the Israelis in two of the largest massacres to have taken place since WW2 as "failing to stop them from happening," the killing of what you claim to be "hostages" as "acceptable in wartime"....
You have downgraded humanitarian aid as "junk" and the killing of unarmed aid-bringers by highly trained and well armed troops as "self-defence" - as well as the bringing of that aid as "politically motivated".
You have failed to comment on the mass expulsion of the Bedouins, the criminal (though as yet untried) supervision of war crimes by an Israeli politician, the prevention of use of land vital to to livelihood of an already impoverished people by a Berlin-type wall, the frighteningly Nazi-like humiliation and persecution of ordinary Palestinians on a daily basis
And you say we are ignoring human rights abuses and supporting killing
Give us a break
