The Israelis have been doing this for years. Trying to stop the Palestinians from complaining. Long, long before suicide bombers, Israel was levelling houses.

Didn't seem to "work".

This really should bother thinking people. (As should suicide bombing, another racially motivated hate crime, and building settlements, etc., etc.) How many wrongs does it take to make a right? How much hate can be deliberately fostered without it coming back to bite the creator of that hate? I dunno.

Israel destroys home of Netanya bomber

“The force of the explosion totally or partially destroyed eight other apartments in two adjacent buildings and shattered windows of scores of other houses. About 100 people were left homeless, residents said.”

There was no shooting, so we can’t really call it collateral damage. These homeless people aren’t implicated in the crime, except by race. And, “association”.

I mean, depriving 100 people who were neighbors and family of a suicide bomber of shelter, based on race and “association” and nothing else. A racially motivated hate crime, piling on another one, sure hasn't stopped the racially motivated hate crimes.

The hell with it, we’ll just call it “war”. A calm war, a war with no shooting, a war with an army blowing up civilian housing for the hell of it. Just the way it goes.

And if anyone gives these homeless people money on which to live, we’ll accuse those people of sponsoring terrorism. If these people go live in a park, or under bridges, we’ll call ‘em lazy and unmotivated. Serves ‘em right – shouldn’t have been born Palestinian.

The Israeli Army used to be the marvel of the world because of it’s skill and ability. Now it’s a marvel of another kind. I don’t know where I’ve read of systematic brutality like theirs since WWII and the Germans. Hard to respect 'em anymore.

Might be able to have a grudging respect, if it "worked". And, long before the suicide bombings, the Israelis were bulldozing homes. Seemed to have just brought on suicide bombing. I wonder - -

Do they have a medal for blowing up civilian housing? A ribbon? Do they "high five" each other? Well, let's see. Sharon is the CO. Yep.

Do they wonder why there are suicide bombers, ever have the least bit of curiosity?
