POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Rule #1: In the Middle East, it is always the Palestinians that attack first, and it´s always Israel who defends itself. This is called "retaliation" .

Rule #2: The Palestinians are not allowed to kill Israelis. This is called "terrorism".

Rule #3: Israel has the right to kill Palestinian civilians; this is called "self-defense" , or "collateral damage".

Rule #4: When Israel kills too many Palestinian civilians, the Western world calls for restraint. This is called the "reaction of the international community".

Rule #5: Palestinians do not have the right to capture Israeli military, not even 1 or 2.

Rule #6: Israel has the right to capture as many Palestinians as they want (around 10,000 to date being held without trial). There is no limit; there is no need for proof of guilt or trial. All that is needed is the magic word: "terrorism".

Rule #7: When you say "Hamas", always be sure to add "supported by Hezbo-Allah, Syria and Iran".

Rule #8: When you say "Israel", never say "supported by the USA, the UK, European countries and even some Arab regimes", for people (God forbid) might believe this is not an equal conflict.

Rule #9: When it comes to Israel, don´t mention the words "occupied territories" , "UN resolutions" , "Geneva conventions" . This could distress the audience of Fox, CNN, etc.

Rule #10: Israelis speak better English than Arabs. This is why we let them speak out as much as possible, so that they can explain rules 1 through 9. This is called "neutral journalism".

Rule #11: If you don´t agree with these rules or if you favor the Palestinian side over the Israeli side, you must be a very dangerous anti-Semite. You may even have to make a public apology if you express your honest opinion

 Actually bod, it was pretty peaceful up until WWI, after which it became part of the British Mandate

Here is a series of maps showing the changes in Palestine borders, in modern times:

Lighter shade indicates the Palestine land and darker shade, like cancer, is the spreading Israel.

 

Palestinians are expected to live in peace, harmony and democracy with cancer.

 In USA sometýmes we ask ourselves why they all dýd not come here.  We would have sold them a state lýke Nevada  free and clear.  The problem is there would be that there would be rockets flyýng from Utah to Nevada and back.  Tanrým affet!

Yes, but the question is from who did they purchase the land from? What right did those people have to sell the land.

 

It reminds me of the Europeans who came to the Americas and claimed Indian land and sold it...????

 

It is an interesting question..........

it is sad that you all bear so much hatred in your hearts, that you live with a hope of revenge and a bloodshed. you are like bulls who gets excited at the color of blood or sharks who follows the taste of blood drop.

Actually, you own comments on this issue can be taken the exact same way. You seem to be sympathetic only to the causes you like.
