Funny how when Palestinians are killed, some IMC trolls feel remorse and have doubts about the role of the Israeli government and Sharon in the occupied territories. But when Palestinians kill, its like "fuck'em, kill'em all." But the same
spite isn't leveled at the IDF that perpetuates massacres in the Gaza Strip. A double standard, no doubt.
They would have us believe that the Israeli attacks on civilian populations are justified because they are rooting
out militants. But the IDF is not viewed in the same light as an occupying army that routinely terrorizes civilians, both Muslim and Christian Palestinians.
The suicide bombing of a bus in front of a hospital, committed by a Palestinian police officer, who was also
a militant, is a horrible act of violence, but let's not
play oppression olympics here and simply judge a people
in terms of who has suffered more (10 civilians versus
8 civilians, some of which "deserved to die" just because
they were militants).
And that whole "oil" connection to Palestinian militants
that "reason" mentioned? Say what? Makes about as much
sense as Gines de Sepulveda, the 16th century Spanish
humanist who felt that the genocide of Native Americans
was justified (He was the Benny Morris of his age I presume).
Both the IDF-Sharon cabal and the suicide bombers suck, but
they do not exist on a level playing field. Israel is
also an imperialist presence in the middle east that
perpetuates an Anglo-influenced white supremacy in the region. Most Arabs do not wish to drive the Jews into the
see, and yet militant Israelis hold onto to this idea
like as if it was their dick.
Get a clue ya'll and don't be so quick to blame the dark
people.
Benny get a brain. Reason, your ideology was already tired
in the 16th century.
Peace,
