Subject: RE: BS: Small hope for Israel/Palestine
Now, the stoning to death of 'adultresses' [ie any women who put it about, even if married, if it is not to a man approved by the family or the authorities], the public caning of 100 strokes on the bare bottom for any woman who dresses 'immodestly' or exchanges a word with any man she's not related to, the hanging of any who choose to convert to any other religion, &c &c &c --

are NOT "acts of terrorism"; they are just the law as it stands in eg Saudi, Morocco, Algeria, Yemen, other Muslim entities thereabouts. No wonder any Arabs who can manage it would rather live in Israel; even if they do, admittedly [& this is not to justify the fact, simply to describe the situation as is] get apartheided; which I agree they shouldn't & the Israelis have got plenty more land that they could settle without having to steal people's homes & ruin their crops & livelihood; & I agree they are just being bloody awkward 'becoz they can'!

& we've done all this before like a bloody old-style stylus stuck in a groove...

But it depends what one wants to "single out" states & regional entities FOR, dunnit? Eh, Jim?
