I'm coming up with that asserition because you refuse my question. You want to talk about displacing indigenious people, some tribes were wiped out completely, and the many now have been relegated to reservations. Mr. Tin Foil Timothy Who Speaks Out Against All Justives I think you are not. It's only Israel that is evil. And I know it's not an assertion. If you had negative feelings toward what the Euro settlers did, you would've said it. But you didn't and won't. And if you've read my post... you know reading... they teach it to you in school, that I've defended Israel as a country and have made no comment on their actions. And your idea of collective punishment is much more different than mine (ie. I believe all kinds of groups can perform collective punishments. In your own secluded world, only Israel can do collective punishment.) Once again that is called is hypocrisy. Selectively choosing injustices over others. That's a sad thing to do.
You're making a grave mistake by assuming that just because if focusing on one particular injustice at once that they regard other injustice as OK.
You are putting words in my mouth by stating that I think other injustices are OK.
No I'm not speaking out against all injustices at this time, I am speaking out against the injustices of Israel. but does that mean I don't care about other injustices or worse think they are OK? No of course it doesn't.
(notwithstanding going off the original topic ) This discussion is about Israel and that is what I'm focusing upon.
Yes you are right, My idea of collective punishment is different to yours. Unlike you my idea of collective punishment isn't just restricted to ovens, gassings, executions, etc. And unlike you I also know why Israel was created and it wasn't because of the holocaust. Although that horrendous crime did help push the agenda forward.
Your rhetoric is now a waste of time. I'm not going to travel around in endless circles trying to explain my position to someone who has dug their heels in to an illogical conclusion because they want to defend the crimes of Israel.
FWIW I highly condemn not only the wiping out of indigenous people in North America but also the decimation of the culture and slaughter of the many peoples of South America by the awful entity called Catholicism.
But in this thread I am condemning the crimes of Israel. And let's make one thing clear if nothing else. This has nothing to do with the innocent Israeli citizens who like the innocent Palestinians citizens just want to live in peace. It's a condemnation of the people who have power in Israel. They are the one's driving the expansionism and collective punishments.
And lastly. I hope you become an impartial journalist and a journalist that doesn't lie by omission. A difficult task in this day and age I know. Especially when one values their pay check.
