… a massacre in Gaza highlights Zionism's double standards
As Trump celebrates his embassy in Jerusalem, a massacre in Gaza highlights Zionism’s double standards
<snip>
While Palestinians are being massacred — over 50 killed and close to 2,000 wounded as demonstrators are being met with live fire — Israel and America celebrate the move of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. That juxtaposition is revolting, but it is also revealing. The double standards of occupation and dispossession have never been clearer.
Since March 30th, which marked Land Day — a day mourning the deaths of Israeli-Palestinians killed while protesting in 1976 — Gazans have repeatedly massed at their border with Israel, demanding the right to return to lands they were expelled from during the formation of Israel. They have been met with tear gas and live fire.
While some of these Palestinians intended harm, they have been remarkably few and far between, a minuscule percentage of the tens of thousands of unarmed protesters. That is part of a historic pattern: Israel claims it only uses force when absolutely necessary. The evidence suggests otherwise. A hugely disproportionate number of Palestinians die, while few if any Israelis ever do (in this case: zero). Still Israel claims it is defending itself.
It is a curious line of defense, one which reveals the very (troubled, and troubling) logic of Zionism itself…

Hmmmm. Since when has self-defense been a crime?
It seems to me that if "Palestinians" (quotation marks intentional) would stop killing Israelis, the killing would stop, period.
That's all it'd take.
When surveying the lay of the land at Manny's message board, it looks to me as if the WillyT primitive dusted off his cherished copy of Mein Kampf.
<<<always supposed national socialism was antithetical to black people, but after reading Lamond the MrsCorpio primitive and the WillyT primitive Skippy's stooge, I guess not.

Arafat was pretty much offered everything the Palestinians people have been asking for and turned it down. The current guy in charge is of the same attitude. Until that changes or their people make them change nothing is going to improve for them.

My impression is that the thugs ruling the West Bank and the thugs ruling Gaza are different thugs and are trying to gain support by being thuggier than thou. Ordinarily I'd say that the ________s deserve better, but, frankly, I don't think the Pali Arabs deserve better. Pali Arabs seem to be divided between the thugs killing Jews and rival thugs, and the passive vultures hoping to pick over what's left after the thugs have killed all the Jews and each other.

They are out collecting Darwin awards. They haven't learned after all this time the Israilies are sick of their tantrums and won't put up with it.

Well, were the peaceful protesters chanting, "Death to Israel! Death to the Jews!" as they peacefully protested? Yeah? Well, then . . .

I don't know but 50 people on the other side of a fence being killed seems a bit on the high side.

I have heard that there were also 1,700 wounded. Sounds as if there was a fair amount of restraint on the hands of the IDF.
On a related note, I wonder if they still have suppressed Ruger 10/22s for crowd control? The snipers would aim for the knees/shins of the protestors.
