And The Massacres Continue…
Following the recent Israeli attacks on Palestinian CIVILIANS, with rockets aiming at homes of innocent people killing huge numbers of unarmed citizens; some Israeli officials decided to express their “apologies” for this “regrettable incident”, Tzipi Livni: “The Israeli military does not intend to harm civilians – that is never our aim”. Aljazeera
Yet all attacks seem to be targeting civilians… now what are the odds!
Ehud Olmert, said in a statement that he regretted the attack but said that Israel’s army had fired in an attempt to prevent Palestinians from firing rockets into Israel. In other words, he’s saying: Israel did this for self-defense.
And I saw on CNN today an Israeli official commenting: “we ask the Palestinian people: Why don’t you use your power as people and influence the resistance to stop killing Israelis?”
It’s just the same old scenario, Israel ends up justifying its massacres as “self-defense”. I’m really tired of explaining why this whole “self-defense” thing is nothing but a big fat lie, and I’ve lost hope in getting people to understand that innocent Palestinians, including harmless children are being butchered in the name of self-defense, so this time I’ll assume that Israeli claims are right and comment accordingly.
Assuming that Israel wishes for peace and those massacres took place only in response to Palestinian missile attacks, and let’s say Israel wants to deliver a message to the Palestinian authorities and decision makers, why murder civilians? Did the small amount of “smuggled” Palestinian missiles cause massacres as the ones your high-tech best-quality missiles cause every time they hit a spot? Isn’t one massacre enough? Why do you have to terminate the whole population?
Why when Palestinians reply to an attack with a similar one _ equal in concept not in power that is- why are they accused of violence and terrorism, whereas Israeli attacks and massacres are called self-defense?
How can you blame the Palestinian people and ask THEM to stop what you’ve started, when those people are: 1) under your occupation, 2) suffering from International sanctions that left them starving, with no food, no money, no medical supplies and NOTHING!
How come you ask suffering people to make a difference when your people, with all the International support and sympathy they’re getting, are not able to influence their government to stop war crimes and murders?!
Let me make this unforgivable mistake and believe that Israel is defending itself and is in favor of peace… why can’t I see any record in history, or a single present attempt, to give this claimed peace a shot! Israel didn’t, not for once, give any peace process or truce a chance, it always managed to end any attempt by claiming it’s defending itself!
A Message to Arabs:
We’re big in quantity, but when it comes to actions, WE SUCK!
Knowing that we lack no brains, no power, and no conscious –or at least that’s what I think- what the hell are we waiting for?
Why don’t we show some dignity and self-respect and do something?!
Can’t we stop sponsoring our precious disgusting video clips and stupid reality shows for a while and support suffering people? Why don’t we interfere to lift sanctions and make sure Palestinians have medical care and food supply?
If we can’t do that, I see no point of our existence, and I think it’d be better if we simply dig one huge deep hole and bury ourselves alive!
Shame on us!
