Subject: RE: BS: Whose the agressor here?
Yes I read your post Teribus, and I still stand by what I said in mine. It appeared to me that what you wrote did serioiusly misrepresent what Carol C has posted.
People often seem to imply that, since in some situation (pretty well any situation as it happens) both sides are in some measure at fault, this means that it is impossible to say that justice lies on one side or the other. It doesn't need much thinking about to see that that is a fallacy.
In the case of Israel and Palestine it seems to me that the balance of justice does clearly lie on one side rather than the other, in the present situation. But this is in no way is equivalent to saying "one side is totally wrong and the other is totally right".
