That's right.. "Defending themselves against terror." Mmm-hmmm.
And now for the second part of the reminder: Palestinians who blow themselves up and kill a few innocent Israelis are... terrorists!
Very good now.
To give another example, if I were to come to your house and poke your eye out - I am "defending" myself against a potential terrorist- you. Because I am American, I am justified in doing this. If you so much as bitch and complain with some sissy complaint such as "boo-hoo, I can't see" - then perhaps you should look a little harder at the rules and regulations that prevent blind people from bitching and moaning or taking any form of retaliation.
I am American, therefore I am right. I can kill, maim, destroy and then charge you and blame you for it. Kind of like an Israeli. And if you scold me for being too brash about it, I will send the Super-Patriots after you to correct your way of thinking and intimidate you into accepting your miserable fate.
Otherwise, Peace!
> Peace through violence, I get it now...
Have you ever looked at a fucking history book?
Violence worked for the American revolutionaries. Worked for the allies against the Nazi's. Worked for Bangladesh. China is relatively peaceful. Vietnam is peaceful now. Russia is peaceful. Most of the countries involved in the two World Wars are now peaceful. Hell, Israel (founded by extreme violence) has been mostly peaceful, with "violent" zones being isolated, for most of its existance.
The world does not revolve around your idiotic conception of peace vs. violence. Even Gandhi realized his notions were incorrect as Indian independence unfolded.
Political and social change has always been integral with violence, that's life. The next time your parents and siblings are murdered by IDF soldiers, we'll see how peaceful you are you stupid piece of shit.
And that's exactly what Israel should do. They should take up this logical and rational methodalogy from the Palestinians themselves. Drive them out of Israel and exterminate those who will not leave. Peace through violence. It works just as well from that side too, doesn't it?
I spent 3 weeks in Isreal/Palestine and I have never seen such blatent racism as Isrealis Jews towards Palestinian Arabs. It was disgusting. It felt like South Africa during Aparthied.
The problem seems to stem from the fact that many Jews in Isreal think they are truly better human beings than Arabs, that they are God's "Choosen people". Think about it. This is very similiar to Hitlers Arayan Supremacy ideology and just as scary.
I just hope the Peaceful, non-racist, Isreali Jews (yes there are some) stand up against this new wave of fanatical, pro-Sharon fascism. And I hope peaceful, non-racist Americans stand up against US military funding of this new Isreali facism.
the two fingers from a left fist rise up in resistance to fight the oppressors! awesome shit! the struggle for peace turns into the resistance!
looks a little like what happen in this country to some homies of mine not too long after the fucking mayflower landed bringing all those damn illegal aliens!
Resistance, Persistance! long live Palestine and the struggle for a free Palestine!
Well, they certainly won that battle didn't they? Where are your 'homies' now?
HAHAHA what a jackass, viva la revolucion
Ein Aravim Ein Piguim
Go IDF, show them a rock or two
no one threw rocks at the twinkie mayflower, but apparently they should've to stop supremacist fucks like you from coming here.
rocks we'll throw, and we'll keep throwing to the LAPD, the IDF, the Carabanieri, and all the pigs... resistance is in our culture, and all yours has been is that that of supremacist fucks--murdering and conquering to earn a sense of worthness over another. that's right twinkie filling, your sense of entitlement and supremacy over another being (by way of a lot of privilege) is all you've got going for ya. maybe you should resist too.
down with IDF, down with the racist supremacist pigs! long live Palestine, long live the people, long live Palestine!
Now even though Israel with the help of your tax dollars and mine can afford to defend themselves in an extremely offensive way, they were not given the red carpet treatment by the Palestinians.
And come to think of it, if a few rich folks decided to cut Eric's crying by giving him my house and leaving me with the bathroom, then the outhouse, then the shed. I dunno. I might be a little pissed. Especially if Eric frequently shot at me and my family with his BIG ASS SMITH AND WESSON .44 MAGNUM (caps not added).
The point of the analogy that you missed was this: Don't poke someone's eye out and then blame them for being blind.
Class is over, Eric. You may now proceed to recess to play with your gun.
Your pal,

You can resist all you want you rock throwing twinkie. It means nothing.
You have resistence. We have the power. Your rocks will not change that.
Thanks for playing, but you lose again! Bing, that was the sound of a rock bouncing off of a tank. Splat, there goes another freedom fighter. Oh, wait, you have Latuff's cartoons, the Zionists have a State. Sounds like a fair deal to me jackass. I hope all of your slogans are tasty and make a delicious meal!
And before it was Palestine it was Israel. The jews have been there for 3000 years. We could argue this all day and get nowhere. The bottom line: Presently, Jews are the majority in Israel. And that is what my map calls it...Israel.
Palestinians (as well as the rest of the Arab states) will not be happy until the Zionists are driven out or exterminated. Why don't you tell us all what will make the Palestinian's happy? Go ahead, say it...I did. But it's not going to happen. EVER. I just think the Jews should take the lead and work it from the other end.
Palestinians should go live with their Arab brothers and then there would be peace. If they were really under as much repression as they claim, they'd leave. I know I would. But they're fanatical sons-of-bitches.
And guess what? I'm not even remotely Jewish.
More good news. Not every Israeli is Ariel Sharon. Just like every American is not George W. Bush. There are plenty of folk in Palestine and Israel who would be happy to share Jersusalem. But those in politics would rather we think otherwise.
Last I heard, Arafat would be fine taking back the pre-1967 borders. The Israeli occupation is illegal, for one. But that doesn't matter so long as the U.S. is on your side. There would be suicide bombings, but probably a lot fewer. Do you ever notice that there are no Israeli suicide bombers? No Israeli is willing to give their life to the occupation's cause. But they're sure happy to sit in a tank and roll over houses and cars. Shit, lots of times they don't even see who they're killing. What heroes! Palestinians, on the other hand, who have very little to lose since so much has been taken from them, would rather take their own lives along with someone else's than be alive during the occupation.
Naturally I don't accept any form of killing as acceptable, but it takes different kinds of people to kill different ways. And you have to be pretty low and depressed to kill yourself for a cause. The situation must be abominable if people are blowing themselves up along with their "enemies".
What Eric seems to forget is how tilted the tables are in favor of Israel. Or at least he's told to forget that. That you have to pick one side - Israel or Palestine. You don't. You can be on neither side. I am. But the cruel evidence of this occupation is clear and if you're going to treat the symptoms of it, and not getting to the root of the problem - you're going to be dealing with suicide bombers for a long, long, long time.
