Moustafa thinks anything can justify beheading of babies?

This is the same scam that was perpetrated after 9/11. The day after the attack, Muslims in this country started a campaign of lying about how oppressed they were. Muslims were not persecuted here prior to 9/11. The people oppressing Muslims in the Middle East are their fellow Muslims. Don’t fall for this lie as justification for Islamic barbarism.

another long and painful era

Thanks to guys like this.

The palestinians live under police state conditions because it is obvious they have never given up their terrorist inclinations.

Suspected terrorists are picked up and jailed as fast as they can find them. There's no "cashless bail" and no Miranda rules. Because of this, they justify targeting civilians, yet in spite of approving of murder in response to poor treatment, the lightbulb hasn't gone off in their heads that the poor treatment is a response to the murder.

Like all palestinian supporters, they have it backwards. It's not a double standard on the part of Israel, it's hypocrisy on the part of palestinians.

I’ll bet anyone the farm that if the Israeli’s were mostly black folks and the Pali’s were majority whites, the left and their media would be 180 degrees opposite in their position towards the Israelis.

It’s sickening to even have to think about. But there it is.

They don’t believe Israel should be allowed to exist.

You can’t live with people that want you dead.

Even Egypt vets and limits how May they allow through the Rafah gate.

Jews are welcomed in most civilized places

Do not believe the phony moral equivalence

Level Gaza, and all who remain there.
Land for Peace does not work

Boy the Guardian sure loves them muzzie writers spouting their garbage about “Israeli oppression”. Their subscribers must get orgasmic reading this crap.

Too many lies; couldn’t read.

The writer claims that this has something to do with the “Palestinians” not having or being an actual nation, when it is the Palestinians who have refused nationhood.

I feel like the gaslighting dial has been turned up lately in the MSM. Or maybe my tolerance has gone down. The brazen overtness is too much.

Notice shift from Gaza to West Bank. West Bank is a whole ‘nother story.

From 1918 to 1948, Gaza was controlled by U.K.; and, prior to that, for centuries, by the Ottomans, and before that, for centuries, by Rome.

From 1949 to 1967, Gaza was controlled by Egypt.

From 1967 to 2006, by Israel (Egypt declining to reassert control after the 1973 war).

In 2006, Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza. At last, after thousands of years of control by others, Gaza had the opportunity for self-government.

What did Gaza do?

Engage in terrorism against Israel.

Gaza is effed up beyond belief.

The left reflexively claims the moral high ground of victim status. It’s sickening. This guy acts like he has no choice. Arabs did not have to adopt the goal of eliminating Israel.

Bayoumi, the minute your side agrees that Israel has a right to exist, the palestinians can have peace.

What exactly counts as a provocation? Not, apparently, the large number of settlers, more than 800 by one media account, who stormed al-Aqsa mosque on 5 October. Not the 248 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers between 1 January and 4 October of this year

Smug and snug in his enclave in our country, this muzzie scumbag neglects to address the tiresome reasons for those numbers of killed and injured as it's ALWAYS the result of Israelis necessary ventures into their ghettos to weed out Hamas cockroaches - even as they suffer the idiot youth throwing rocks. Most are injured back by the rubber bullets shot back. Expel these pedantic azzholes from our country and universities and regard them as the autistic butchers they are. Even the peace loving Muslims have no business to be in this country - even if most are simply apostate phonies. The fight will be within our so called borders soon, but for now, I pray Isreal creates new beachfront property.

Yes, the spokesthing for Hamas made reference to this as a justification for the slaughter. Was the mosque damaged by the storming or was it ‘defiled’ by the mere presence of Jews near or in it?

Yes the condemnation of the beheading of babies is a ‘double standard’.

. But Watson’s use of the word “unprovoked” is doing a lot of work here.... What exactly counts as a provocation? Not, apparently, the large number of settlers, more than 800 by one media account, who stormed al-Aqsa mosque on 5 October. Not the 248 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces or settlers between 1 January and 4 October of this year. Not the denial of Palestinian human rights and national aspirations for decades.

Not the attacks by Muslims like Hamas breeds against Jews from 1948 to now.
