1. But you can't condemn Israel's aggression |

Or point out how wrong they have been in the past, because you are an anti-semite, a terrorist sympathizer, or perhaps just a Hamas party member...
It is appalling how one-sided our corporate media is.

3. Of course, no one is innocent here |
|
But the cheerleading I have seen for this illegal occupation and was is disturbing, especially on a "democratic" forum. War is never the answer

4. Yeah, that is what the guilty bystanders said about the Native Americans |
|
and the American settlers in the 19th century. Native Americans attacked settlers who illegally settled on their land and the US Government slaughtered the Native Americans in retribution and stuffed any who were still alive on reservations/ghettos. "All's fair in war" is always the motto of the strong -- US Government and Israel -- against the weak -- Native Americans and Palestinians.

5. Those were the days when all incidents of white people killing Native Americans |
|
were called "battles", while any instances where Native Americans fought back were labeled "massacres".
