Your quote from page 23 of the "stop the U.S. bashing " thread
"Are you talking about the thousands of children that the Israeli government so lovingly plants in the middle of the Occupied Territories so they can steal more land? What kind of nation or parent that cares for its children sends them to live in the middle of a war zone? "
indicates your feeling that its OK to kill children. and to put the blame on the parents is just cheap. By the same logic, if I get shot by a stray bullet in Regent park, I had it coming?after all, bad things happen there, right. To put the blame where it really belongs is very simple. Who is to blame when a kid is blown up on a bus by a palastinian suicide bomber? Hmmm.... his parents? No. The govt?No. The bomber?Yes. He is the one who knew what was about to happen and made an effort to kill as many civilians as possible. The parents wanted the kids to ride the bus as they would get to school faster. The govt provided the bus for the citizens to use as public transit, like the TTC does.
If you look at the episodes of crazed Isreali citizens murdering civilians, I can think of 1 episode, the jew who murdered the 30 muslims leaving the mosque. But how many suicide bombers have thier been? Lots (I don't know the exact #, nor do I know how many people have been killed by these same suicide bombers, but I know that # is big) I think 1 event vs MANY events indicates which side I should fear more.
"If I was, I'd get myself and my family out of the country - that is, unless I supported that policy." So basicaly your saying Isreal , we can never get along, we can never co-exist, either get out or we kill you, your children, your visitors,everyone. Again I ask, why is the killing of isreali citizens on public transit any less of an injustice that the killing of Rachel Corey? Also by taking this tactic of "Get out" are you not forcing Isreal into fighting rather than negotiating as there is no possibility of comprimise?
