Anti-Israeli hypocrisy
I AGREE with Fadiel Adams that any flippant attitude towards the Palestinian/Israeli problem is unacceptable. Nevertheless, it is difficult to prove Palestinian roots in Israel.
Why do Israel’s neighbours reject any Palestinian claims to their origins among them! Consider the Irish and lands that the British took a few centuries ago. The fact is that the British forcibly still occupy land in Ireland and they receive no international censure for this, which does not sit well with huge numbers of people worldwide. International media and communities are hugely hypocritical with their condemnation of Israel in this matter. Human rights are a more recent development in the world and depending on how one has been indoctrinated, biased judgement is applied unrighteously against Israel.
How can it be acceptable behaviour to hide one’s evil deeds among the innocent and then cry out against sovereign retaliation from Israel? Why does it appear acceptable internationally for the PLO’s indiscriminate aggression against Israel’s innocent women and children? Surely such blatant hypocrisy deserves condemnation.
It is not Israel’s intent to annihilate the Palestinians from the face of the Earth. But Palestinian authorities openly declare this is their intent against Israel. Furthermore, they do so with support from most other
Arab countries. The absence of international censure for this genocidal declaration is noteworthy.
