Summing it up



Thanks to Stuart Littlewood, whose piece you can read here

For example......

"Israeli citizens have been under the threat of daily attack from Gaza for years."
Palestinians have been under harsh Israeli occupation for 60 years.

"Only this week hundreds of missiles and mortars shells were fired at Israeli civilian communities."
Only one in 500 Qassam rockets causes a fatality. How many thousands of Israeli bombs, missiles, rockets, grenades and tank-shells have been blasted into the crowded city and towns of the Gaza Strip by Israel’s high-tech weaponry?

"Until now we have shown restraint. But today there is no other option than a military operation."
The only legitimate option for Israel is to end the occupation and withdraw behind its 1967 border, as required under international law and UN resolution. Israel has been killing Palestinians at the rate of 8 to 1 since 2000, and children at the rate of nearly 12 to 1 (B’Tselem figures). This is somebody’s idea of restraint?

Hey Buff, do ever have a fellow on your TV called Mark Regev? He's Australian and is the spokesman for the Israeli Government. Perhaps they wheel out a North American accented spokesman for the benefit of Canada and America? I have no idea.

Anyway, night after night, I hear his petulant whining Israel-as-victim shit, all in an Australian accent, and I really really want to smash his teeth in. If I ever meet him, I hope he can fight because otherwise I'm going to stomp him.

Gosh! Did the Buddha ever talk like this? Probably not. Mind you, he didn't have to watch that shit Mark Regev on his TV every night, ha ha. Ciao mate.

Gaza: The Spin

She doesn't go far enough... but heck it's better than anything else seen on msm.
