Israel Inflicts Illegal Collective Punishment on Gaza : Comments

By Marjorie Cohn, published 17/7/2014

Headlines in the mainstream media falsely portray an equivalence of firepower between Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza. But Israel's use of force greatly exceeds that of the Palestinians.

Speaking of ethnic cleansing and the "god"-given claim (of the Zionists) to possession of the benighted piece of real estate called the "holy"-land I quite like this reference - the conclusion unfortunately just may be quite catastrophically prophetic http://loiter.co/v/the-israelpalestine-conflict-illustrated-beautiful

Good thread Marjorie. Pity the "gullible" input. Only update it's now reportedly 42 Gaza children dead. Who is the terrorist organisation?

Dear SPQR,

"And Foxy and Co. wouldn't raise a whimper?"

That's low, really low. A cheap shot.

I foolishly thought you knew me better than
that, just as I thought I knew you.

Obviously, we're both mistaken.

Dear Hasbeen,

People who are mistreated - do eventually retaliate.
Kindly go back and re-read the link I gave earlier.
There's no comparison with the treatment of Palestinians
as compared to that of Jews in Israel. And this has been
the case from day 1. Do your research.
And what if not "epic" is what the Israelis are currently
doing in Gaza? Again do your research.

You seem to not let facts interfere with the spin.
And I thought you were better than that.

<<Israel Inflicts Illegal Collective Punishment on Gaza>>

Aiyah, sup sup soi, lah!

Anti-Israel rankers are a dime a dozen --and overpaid at that!

I am waiting for a really groundbreaking esposé like:
<<Egyptian Muslims Inflict Illegal Collective Punishment on Copts>>
or
<<Irian government Inflicts Illegal Collective Punishment on Bahais>>

Dear SPQR,

You talk about "anti Israelis..."
What about the Zionist lobby that has managed
to single out Israel for opprobrium and
international sanction out of all proportion to any other
party in the Middle East, and not admitting this is
dishonest.

The situation for the Palestinians remains dire.
Peace will not arrive without fundamental changes.

"Every Western pundit or official who pontificates
about Palestinian "terrorism" needs to ask how
forgetting the fact of the occupation is supposed to
stop terrorism," Edward Said wrote in 2001.

Arbitrary arrest, incarceration without trial, the
killing of civilians, inhumane roadblocks, and settlement
expansion, all lead the Palestinians to one conclusion:
the Israelis, and their US and allied backers, aren't serious
about peace.
