66. Actually
The associates of the people who "hid their cowardly carcasses" behind women and children (to use your phrase) are actually in positions of power in Israel right now, and the state they run is the one constantly pouring forth the hypocritical talking points you're reciting.

The reason I point this out (seems to have flown right by), is that events of "50 years ago" are exactly related to contemporary ones, because every national movement in history has "cowardly hid" their "carcasses" behind women and children.

Repeat: every national movement.

So yes, now "the Arabs are doing it", but the moral value of that astounding insight is precisely zero, because they're no different from anybody else.

Either accept that, or accept that your laser-like focus on the Arabs use of the exact same tactics as the pre-state Zionists is because you'd prefer not to talk about or deal with the crimes currently being carried out by the state of Israel.

The latter is something you can influence - namely, by withdrawing your support for those crimes.

Since you can do precisely nothing about the (real) crimes of the Palestinians with regards to their "hiding behind civilians", your denunciations of those should be dismissed with the disdain they deserve.

Of course, you're free to believe that the above is "changing the subject" if you like.
