ok found an article.
Our taxes fund injustice and apartheid
by Mazin Qumsiyeh
Sounds just lovely.
I was a bit disturbed that few Hispanic or African Americans attended my son's school in an economically "upper-class" part of Connecticut. We clearly have work to do to protect civil rights and challenge socioeconomic apartheid.
The fact that some group tends to be poorer does not prove they are oppressed, that civil rights protection is lacking, or that there is any socioeconomic apartheid. It could simply be that group tends to be less moral.
The left always tries to say bad people have no choice, and blame their circumstances. It's not their fault they taught their children to fail; they didn't know any better! But this abdication from responsibility is exactly what we don't need -- if people took more personal responsibility they could solve these problems and it wouldn't be "the unavoidable consequence of X environment" anymore. The victimhood mentality can create problems just as easily as actually being a victim.
There are schools for Palestinians and schools for Israeli Jews.
I wonder why. Maybe cause it's not safe to let Palestinians into Jewish schools. Now I'm not saying every Palestinian schoolkid is a murderer, but enough are, and many of the rest are terrorist sympathisers. When their culture comprehensively and unequivocally rejects terrorism and murder, the school setup will change.
Israelis get 6 times more water per person than Palestinians.
Well that's ok, because my anonymous source says that Palestinians produce four times the air pollution, and seven times the water pollution, but only pay one tenth the cleanup costs! And not only that, they use ninty percent of the soap and eighty percent of the carrots. Greedy bastards!
9 million Palestinians in the world, over 5 million are refugees or "displaced persons."
Yeah, that's what happens when you refuse your own state (in 1948, and many times since), and instead declare war, and lose.
Under the road map, Palestinians would remain dispersed and those remaining are left with no control of their natural resources or even their lives.
See what I mean about how the left thinks people in bad situations aren't responsible for what they do?
You'll also commonly hear leftists say "If I were in that situation, I'd become a terrorist too." They are trying to say anyone would do it. The truth is anyone wicked would do it. If you ask a right-wing person what they'd do if they were poor and lived in crappy circumstances, they'd probably just answer "I'd get a job," and possibly add, "and pray for the best." Spot the difference.
They would remain surrounded by Israeli army and colonies and now with huge walls being built around their towns.
Huge walls, eh? Actually most of the security fence will be chain link fence. 3% will be stone.
Israel's share of our foreign aid budget is 30% while its population is about 0.1% of world population.
Wow, great! I would have guessed we wasted a lot more money on other countries than that.
Except for persistent attempts by some in the US media to shield Americans from facts, the whole world opposes the Israel-inspired and Bush-led attack on human rights and international law.
Well if enough people say something, they must be right. It's just logic.
And I thought I remembered US media mostly opposing the War on Terror. Hum, I must be getting old or something.
The violence of resistance is dwarfed by the violence of the occupation and colonization.
Let me translate:
Killing Jews is ok because the Jews rule the world, and are thus to blame for all suffereing anywhere.
Four times more Palestinian civilians were killed than Israeli civilians.
The solution, of course, is for Israel to stop fighting back.
Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old American member of the International Solidarity movement, was killed by an Israeli soldier driving an American made Caterpillar. As I reflect on my son's graduation, I weep with the family of this student and the families of over 800 Palestinian students killed by Israeli forces. I also reflect on and I am saddened by the continuing injustices supported by our taxes. But then I think of the idealism and wonderful words of Rachel and all the conscientious students she left behind. They will lead us to a world with no walls and a world of justice and equality.
A world of no walls, eh? Sounds like he's advocating that Israel stop defending itself. Just pointing it out again in case you'd missed the theme.
Notice how he fails to mention anything about the circumstances of Rachel Corrie's death. He just sort of implies she was murdered, but won't say it directly cause he's too much of a pussy. Here's a nice thread about her. If you want more details, go here.
