Isn't This
Democracy Wonderful ?
Rule #1:
In the Middle East, it is
always the
Palestinians that attack
first, and it's always
Israel who defends
itself. This is called
retaliation
Rule #2:
The Palestinians are not allowed
to kill
Israelis. This is
called "terrorism".
Rule #3:
Israel has the right to kill
Palestinian civilians; this is
called "self-defense", or "collateral
damage".
Rule #4:
When Israel kills too many
Palestinian civilians, the
Western world calls for
restraint. This is called the
"reaction of the 20
international community".
Rule #5:
Palestinians do not have the
right to capture Israeli
military, not even 1 or 2.
Rule #6 :
Israel has the right to capture
as many Palestinians as they
want (around 10,000 to date
being held without trial).
There is no limit; there
is no need for proof of guilt or
trial. All that is needed is the
magic word: "terrorism".
Rule #7:
When you say "Hamas", always be
sure to add "supported by
Hezbo-Allah, Syria and Iran".
Rule #8:
When you say " Israel", never
say "supported by the USA, the
UK, the
European countries and
even some Arab regimes", for
people (God forbid) might
believe this is not an equal
conflict.
Rule #9:
When it comes to Israel, don't
mention the words "occupied
territories", "UN resolutions",
"Geneva
conventions". This could
distress the audience of Fox,
CNN, etc.
Rule #10:
Israelis speak better English
than Arabs. This is why we let
them speak out as much as
possible, so that they can
explain rules 1 through 9. This
is called "neutral journalism".
Rule #11:
If you don't agree with these
rules or if you favor the
Palestinian side over the
Israeli side, you must be a very
dangerous anti-Semite. You may
even have to make a public
apology if you express your
honest opinion.
THIS IS CALLED: DEMOCRACY!!
(Isn't It Wonderful?)
