I get it, Emily. You believe that. But, facts are facts. The israel government is guilty daily of collective punishment against Palestinians.Please explain what you mean here.part of the problem is the people calling "foul" when it comes to "collective" punishment
are just as guilty of supporting the same when it comes to defending their side.
Israel has been found guilty of collective punishment, a war crime, more times than we can count.
At the same time, the Palestinians do not even have the ability, let alone the mentality, to collectively punish their criminal slave masters.
Dear louie888 both the peaceful Palestinians and the peaceful Jews are victims of the collective punishment.
The Palestinians supporting terrorist acts against innocent victims
is a form of collective punishment. It is a protest lashing out against society
and not caring who gets killed in order to make a political statement.
Yes, there are as many peaceloving Muslims and Jews appalled by
any such acts of war and terrorism. So these are equal vicitms of
the violence of others.
But the violence is not one sided.
The conflict is killing people on both sides.
The conflict is mutual and cannot be blamed on just one side.
If anything there are at least 3 or 4 sides when you add the political
coercion added by people taking sides.
You cannot say this is just one sided and blame the Jews.
That is COLLECTIVE punishment and judgment to do that.
each person is responsible for our part in taking sides
and undermining the peace effort.
I think we all agree there.
Now, what collective punishment has been dealt out by the Palestinian government?
"Facts are facts".
That's funny Habib, as you presented no facts.
Might I suggest you go outside and play in traffic?
