This is called <br>  <br> \"retaliation\". <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 2: The Arabs, whether Palestinians or Lebanese, are not <br>  <br> allowed to kill Israelis. This is called \"terrorism\". <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 3: Israel has the right to kill Arab civilians, this is <br>  <br> called \"self-defense\", or these days \"collateral damage\". <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 4: When Israel kills too many civilians. The Western world <br>  <br> calls for restraint. This is called the \"reaction of the international <br>  <br> community\". <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 5: Palestinians and Lebanese do not have the right to capture <br>  <br> Israeli military, not even a limited number, not even 1 or 2. <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 6: Israel has the right to capture as many Palestinians as <br>  <br> they want (Palestinians: around 10000 to date, 300 of which are  <br>  <br> children, Lebanese: 1000s to date, being held without trial).  <br>  <br> There is no limit; there is no need for proof of guilt <br>  <br> or trial. All that is needed is the magic word: \"terrorism\". <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 7: When you say \"Hezbollah\", always be sure to add \"supported <br>  <br> by Syria and Iran\".  <br>  <br> &nbsp; <br>  <br> Rule #&nbsp; 8&nbsp; : When you say \"Israel\", never say \"supported by the USA, <br>  <br> the UK and other European countries\", for people (God forbid) might <br>  <br> believe this is not an equal conflict. <br>  <br> &nbsp; <br>  <br> Rule # 9: When it comes to Israel, don't mention the words \"occupied <br>  <br> territories\", \"UN resolutions\",&nbsp; \"Geneva conventions\". This could <br>  <br> distress the audience of Fox. <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 10: Israelis speak better English than Arabs. This is why we <br>  <br> let them speak out as much as possible, so that they can explain rules <br>  <br> 1 through 9. This is called \"neutral journalism\". <br><br> &nbsp; Rule # 11: If you don't agree with these rules or if you favor the <br>  <br> Arab side over the Israeli side, you must be a very dangerous <br>  <br> anti-Semite. You may even have to make a public apology if you express <br>  <br> your honest opinion (isn't democracy wonderful?) <br><br> <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"www.marwenmedia.com","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Dues to &quot;our&quot; Zionized US media...","numcomment":5,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2006\/08\/173753.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":173787,"heading":"Awesome post.
