Why do you think I rally so hard against them or those that support them?
Do you truly think me a monster?
I can't answer that question. I don't know you. But you can answer that question for yourself.
In a previous post, you referenced an article which states Palestinians were never really a people. The implication of that statement is that they aren't human beings like the rest of us.
Before Israel existed, these "people" who I refer to as "Palestinians" legally owned land and property. They had rights. When the UN created the Zionist state of Israel, these people ceased to have the same rights as their Jewish neighbors. The Zionists in control of the Zionist state of Israel used military force, terrorist tactics and racist laws to drive these people off their land and confiscate their property.
When I say "confiscate their property" I'm talking about everything... land, jewelry, bank accounts, furniture... When Jewish refugees resettled in Israel, some moved into fully furnished homes, complete with family portraits of the people who were forcibly removed. Others moved into houses, built over the ruins of razed villages.... If I understand your posts, you are saying "Palestinians" never owned their property or had any rights because 2000 years ago, a Jewish nation once existed in Palestine. You must not believe that "Palestinians" are human beings deserving of equal treatment. Otherwise how could you support what has been done to them.
CDNbear, what do you make of this incident?
Tuesday, July 23, 2002.
An Israeli warplane flattened an apartment building in the Gaza Strip early Tuesday, killing at least 15 people...
...The children who were killed in the strike were reported to be aged between two months and 13 years. About 140 people were injured in the attack, and local officials said that more people could be buried under the rubble....
...Prime Minister Ariel Sharon - who reportedly gave his personal approval for the air strike... hailed the operation as "a great success".

The successful attack not only levelled the entire apartment building but also collapsed nearby buildings. The explosion killed nearly everyone in the apartment building, but the shock wave killed and wounded people for some distance. Entire familes died in the attack.
Do you think the people approved this mission like PM Ariel Sharon, knew dropping 1000 lbs of high explosive on an residential apartment block would kill innocent people... including children and babies? Is the above act "butchery"? Was it "malicious in intent and cruel in the most primordial way"? Is this an example of "cold blooded murder"?
How would you describe these kinds of attacks on innocent civilians?
That one incident is typical of what "Palestinians" endure on a daily basis. I can reference hundreds of examples just like the above. For the most part, these incidents don't make our news.
If you lost your family this way, would you feel hatred against those responsible? Would you make extreme statements about what you would do in revenge?
Like everyone else in North America, I am aware of the atrocities committed by people who resist Zionism. Israelis suffer an occasional bomb, but for the most part, their suffering isn't on the same scale as Palestinians. Israelis aren't being starved into submission right now.
I do not support violence, but I do support the right to be heard. That's why I post the Palestinian viewpoint.
I support the fundamental human right to resist injustice and oppression. I just disagree with using violence to fight for freedom and justice. If I could, I would give every Palestinian a video recorder and a website. If the world saw what the Zionsists do to these people, we would be shamed into action.
The Zionist state of Israel is not a victim. Zionists do not fight for freedom or justice. They fight to expand Israel's borders and take away rights and property of non-Jews. Zionist use violence to take everything Palestinians once had. They don't care about the suffering of non-Jews. I can't support this, can you?
Israelis benefit directly from what Zionists take from Palestinians. Israeli citizens elect and re-elect people who have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. They are partly responsible for Palestinian suffering. Some Israelis are innocent victims, but sizable minority support Zionism, fully aware of what that means to "Palestinians". People who support injustice and oppression are not innocent victims.
The nations which voted to create the Zionist state of Israel in the middle of a predominately Muslim/Arab area are also responsible for the consequences of their actions.
Are you a monster? Only you can answer that. Do you support cold blooded murder?
