Re: Occupied Palestine...
Had Hizbullah not tried the exact same trick years later, perhaps I would give them a little credit.
I am under no illusions about the Israelis, they are nasty fighters in a nasty neighborhood. What I rail against is selective outrage, and the theory that if Israels enemies create mythical attrocities that somehow that creates a "win". After all, we just heard how "thousands" were killed in Jenin.
I am certain you know about the Syrian town of Hama? This rebellious city challenged the Syrian army. The army surrounded the city and bombarded it for days. The estimate was 25,000 killed, mostly civilians. Yet if you ask any Muslim the worst massacre was Sabra and Shatilla, which in terms of raw numbers can't even hold a candle to Hama. In fact in the 6 years I have visited here, it has never been brought up by a Muslim. The invisibility of Muslim on Muslim violence is stunning in comparison to the microscope the Jews operate under.
