POSTED RESPONSES TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL
I love that phony word, "militants"?
The people were either criminals or they were not.
If they were all genuine cases of people killed while
attacking others, there would be no use for the word, "militant," and
I guarantee Israeli authorities would never use it.
The Globe has accepted Israel's propaganda by using a
euphemistic word which literally means nothing.
Of course, the word was intended to blur the distinction
between shooting innocent people and shooting someone attacking you.
It's a coward's word.
And its constant propagation through news media is just a
sign of how little genuine reporting goes on in these matters.
Shameful.
___________________________
Even Israel's presentation here is phony propaganda.
The cheap boxes the remains are in are all covered with
Palestinian flags, covering a coffin with a flag being the traditionally
accepted way of burying a soldier.
But we have not one shred of evidence any of these are
soldiers.
And we know, from countless experience, Israel blithely
kills people who oppose it in the smallest way.
Witness the Palestinian family wiped out on a beach a few
years ago.
Or the lovely young American girl deliberately crushed by a
bulldozer.
Or the Canadian officer and 3 others murdered while bravely
doing their UN observation duties as Israel once again invaded Lebanon.
Or the 400 children Israel murdered in Gaza.
Or the unarmed party aboard a ship on the high seas which
Israeli commandos literally executed.
The list goes on and on.
And of course Israel holds thousands of Palestinians in
prison with no proper trials or legal procedures.
And we have the report of the respected UN Raconteur for the
region, Mr Falk, that Israel has killed over 1200 children just since 2000.
This pathetic effort by Israel is a cheap show.
It means nothing to return bodies.
And irony of ironies Israel uses a Palestinian flag, the
flag of a country Israel refuses to allow to exist.
Good Lord, let's use our critical faculties, and maybe then
we can see some justice.
