I'm tired of the "heroic" Israelis vs. the "diabolic" Palestinians

Mary Anne — 4/9/2004 1:17:10 PM (archived)

I did not stretch the definition to include all Israelis over 18. Justin tried to put those words in my mouth already in this thread. I rejected that from him, and I reject it from you.

The Israelis started out with the natural sympathy of every nation, including the US, that turned their backs on Jews during the Holocaust. Their national policy has devolved into one of land-grabbing, house-flattening, child-shooting bullies.

They can do all that and still be the Chosen People? No. If they can do that, then a Palestinian with no army and no home and no hope can blow up a bus that brings his persecutors back to their tanks. Until we can see that the one is as justified as the other in the eyes of the people with no army and no home and no hope, and why, there will be no peace.

Arafat is no prize. Think about what a prize Ariel "the Bulldozer" Sharon is for a while.

        Hold the Israelis responsible for what they have done since the Yom Kippur war as well. - Mary Anne - 4/12/2004 1:15:56 PM

        There is no amount of humiliation that justifies setting off a nail bomb in a cafeteria. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 4/9/2004 12:45:26 AM
        
        there still is humiliation and oppression and that does breed violence. - FrankC - 4/8/2004 7:25:13 PM
