Ahhhh, just as I suspected. You expose your prejudice at last. I see you're using your "blessed are the protestors and terrorists so long as they're my protestors and terrorists" logic. According to you, Palestinian terrorists should be allowed to kill Jews with impunity. There should be no Palestinian price to pay when Israelis are killed. Israel doesn't have the right to strike back.
The Palestinians declared this war . . . this intifada. No one should be surprised when people die in wartime. And no one should expect Israel to contain her activities inside lines drawn on a map by bureaucrats with IQ's of a tadpole.
One question . . . you're saying it would've been okay with you if Rachel Corrie had been run over by a bulldozer in Tel Aviv but since she was in Gaza that makes it unacceptable. Is that right?
If that's not right, just what is your point?
Do you also weep for the innocent Israelis killed? Palestinians and their supporters are by-and-large killed by accident . . . and this draws all manners of concern from you. What of the innocent Israeli women and children who are TARGETED by Palestinian terrorists? If you have no prejudice in your heart, shouldn't they draw even more concern from you?
This more equivalency exercise is important. I don't have a dog in the Mid East hunt. I'm not Jewish, I'm not Muslim, I don't have friends or family who are either. I just look at it like this . . . one side of innocents die by accident while the innocents on the opposite side are deliberately targeted.
Professional hand-wringers and peaceniks seem to miss this vital point. They raise hell with Israel and give a life-long terrorist like Arafat a pass.
No, Rachel Corrie deserves no sympathy. As a matter of fact, her parents should be charged with a crime for raising a Pet Rock.
Nonsense, even here associates acknowledge the incident took place in the security zone alongside the Gaza border which has been under Israeli control since the "peace" with Egypt.
