 As to illegal - I'm not so sure. It was British land to give.
 Other land was lost and gained in war. Are you going to disclaim all
lands
 won by conquest? That's ok with me, as long as we do it across the board.
I
 won't really miss Texas, and if they become Mexicans they can't send us
any
 more Presidents.

Again your argument makes no sense. The Palestinians
do currently live and occupy the W Bank and Gaza - NOT the
Israelis. Not to say the Sharonites hope to brutalize the
Palestinians to the extent they will be forced to leave - I
doubt that will happen but perhaps the Israelis will eventually
murder them all - then all the religious wackos from Brooklyn
will have plenty of room for new settlements.

BTW, it appears the Mexicans are well along the process of
retaking most of what they lost in 1848. Fine with me.

Throughout History, no land has ever been lost by conquest -
only by demographics. So called conquorers who do not literally
replace the population with their own people always eventually
are kicked out as your British friends will attest to.

You are being coy and equivicating.By equating the acts of the oppressor

a moral opinion - a bad moral opinion. Merely throwing up your hands

brutal occupation and the illegal annexation of another people's land

 Maybe there is a rule that 2 people can't post information from the same

But of course you did not simply 'post information.' Rather you posted
an editorial attacking my post as somehow improper because I only
quoted that part of the article reporting the murder of the 11 year old

I see the difference. You presented an edited form of an article. The
editing took the form of quoting the part that backs up your belief, while
editing out all the parts that go against your belief system.


My point remains the same - every time you choose to show only part of
something, you are displaying an opinion.

Who cares?

My point was not about the article, but about you. The article speaks for
itself. Or it would if it was allowed to remain whole - as it was presented
it only speaks for you.

AS to your personal attacks and insults - they roll off me as I never enter
a battle of wits with the unarmed.

I would love for you point out one place where I rationalized.

 My point remains the same - every time you choose to show only part of
 something, you are displaying an opinion.

The facts stated in the quote were the facts that I sought
report. The whole article reported other incidents and events.
The other incidents or events do not change the reality
of that part of the article I quoted.

 My point was not about the article, but about you. The article speaks for
 itself. Or it would if it was allowed to remain whole - as it was
presented
 it only speaks for you.

You make no sense. The article was referenced for anyone to read
in its entirety. I chose to quote a portion of the article. I did not
purport
to reproduce the whole article. Obviously that portion I quoted was the
most important from my perspective.

 AS to your personal attacks and insults - they roll off me as I never
enter
 a battle of wits with the unarmed.

I don't consider any of my comments personal attacks.

 I would love for you point out one place where I rationalized.

Your rationalization was obvious from the fact that you thought it
somehow unfair of me not to also quote other incidents where
Israelis were victimized. As I pointed out, I do not consider
the Israeli and Palestinian situations as morally equivalent.
One is a rich powerful militaristic state that seeks to oppress and
displace
an entire people. The other entity is stateless, poor and has no military
and seeks to prevent its destruction by an occupying colonialist power.

You apparently consider the murder of an 11 year old Palestinian
girl somehow not important as a solitary story but requires 'context'
by reporting Israeli deaths. I see value in the story of the girl's death
standing alone since I consider that story symbolic of the Israeli -
Palestinian tragedy.

I find the story tragic. I find it of great import. It saddens me more than
you can imagine. If the shooters think they were behaving as good Jews they
were wrong. Completely and totally. Of course if they thought they were
behaving like good Muslims, they were also totally and completely wrong. In
fact, and in deed, if they think they were acting as good human beings they
were wrong. Completely and totally.

I also found the story, in the same article, about the rabbi, who now has 6
fatherless children tragic. So I posted it. Not because the story was
symbolic of the conflict. Because it was actual flesh and blood.

(If I wanted symbolic I could have posted the part about the gift wrapped
shrapnel surprise)

Maybe there is a rule that 2 people can't post information from the same

 Brilliant editing. As I used to tell my students - every edit is an
opinion.

I did not 'edit' the article. It would be 'editing' if I presented the
entire
article with additions or omissions and offered it purportedly as the
original. I did offer an excerpt and cited the original source for
anyone to read for him/herself (which you apparently did using my
cited reference). You will note that my excerpt was outlined in
'quotes' clearly indicating I was quoting an excerpt from the body
of the article.

Of course the editing does not change the facts that a 11 year old
Palestinian girl was executed by the Israeli army - while she was
watching the funeral procession of a teenage Palestinian boy shot by
the Israeli Army the day before. For your information I consider the
intentional shooting of bullets into a densely populated civilian occupied
area as an execution.

I quoted that part of the article that was the most important - that the
bloody oppression of the Palestinians continues notwithstanding the
cost in lives for both the Israelis and the Palestinians.

Your attempt to somehow show 'moral equivilency between the
illegal occupier and the occupied who resist violent occupation is
disingenious and implies support for illegal occupation through the
use of state terrorism. I assume you also find 'moral equivilancy'
between the White S African Apartheid regime when they imprisoned
Nelson Mandella for 20 years for his involvement in an ANC bombing
of White S African civilians. Rather like the Americans who justified
murdering 100,000's of American Indian men, women and children
because some White Settlers were killed by Indian raiders for
stealing their land.

posted, and it was not clear on who did the shooting.





 I quoted that part of the article that was the most important - that the
 bloody oppression of the Palestinians continues notwithstanding the
 cost in lives for both the Israelis and the Palestinians.


I understand that a dead Jew is less important to you than a dead Arab. That
was my point, really. That the killing of a Rabbi and attacking of his
family on the way to a wedding is less noteworthy, less horrific, to you.
They are equally horrific to me.



 Your attempt to somehow show 'moral equivilency between the
 illegal occupier and the occupied who resist violent occupation is
 disingenious and implies support for illegal occupation through the
 use of state terrorism. I assume you also find 'moral equivilancy'
 between the White S African Apartheid regime when they imprisoned
 Nelson Mandella for 20 years for his involvement in an ANC bombing
 of White S African civilians. Rather like the Americans who justified
 murdering 100,000's of American Indian men, women and children
 because some White Settlers were killed by Indian raiders for
 stealing their land.

I did not attempt to show moral equivalency, I attempted to show your
hypocrisy, and one sidedness in only quoting the parts of an article that
suit your point of view.

I abhor the violence on both sides.

As to the illegality of the state of Israel - it was given them by the
landlords at the time, and thus legal.


Moral? I certainly did not claim the high moral ground for either side, as
neither has it.

Re: [CTRL] Israelis Execute 11 year old Palestinian Girl Terrorist

-Caveat Lector-

Brilliant editing. As I used to tell my students - every edit is an opinion.

Here are some snippets of the same article FLW accidentally left out:

A 40-year-old rabbi and father of six was shot and killed by a Palestinian
gunman in a roadside ambush this morning as he drove to a wedding
celebration with his family from the Jewish settlement where they live in
the Gaza Strip.

Israeli police, alerted by a wary pedestrian, this morning discovered a
shrapnel-filled bomb hidden in a gift-wrapped box near a shopping mall in
the northern Israeli city of Netanya. And over the 24 hours that ended this
afternoon, Israeli security forces said they arrested and jailed 42
Palestinians accused of anti-Israeli activities.

And of course on the story he chose to highlight : € Nada Madi, 11, had just
come home from school Thursday afternoon in the Rafah refugee camp and had
opened her bedroom window to watch the funeral when a bullet punctured her
chest. It is unclear who fired the bullet

(if I were FLW I would leave the article cut right there - but I am not)

but the family said it came from the direction of an Israeli army
observation tower about a quarter-mile away. Military officials said
soldiers were firing toward a Palestinian gunman allegedly hiding in a
nearby house at about the time the girl was hit.



admitedly my snippets in this case are just as slanted as FLW's are, so -

Here's the URL for the whole thing:

 Palestinian: 'The World Has Lost Sensitivity'

 ...An 11-year-old Palestinian girl was shot in the chest and killed
 Thursday afternoon as she leaned out her bedroom window in the
 Rafah refugee camp, in the southern Gaza Strip. She was watching
 the funeral procession of a teenage Palestinian boy who had been
 shot the previous day
