Are you kidding me? You know what, sarcasm from now on Seriously? So-- Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors without borders, the UN, the Israeli soldiers who are part of "Breaking the silence", all the journalists reporting on Gaza, every government/company in the world supporting BDS, every protester (including Israeli and Jewish ones), Jon Stewart and Selena Gomez etc. are aaaalll fundamentally anti-semitic and singling out Israel. Riiight And nobody's reporting on Syria and they're always SOOO NICE and fair and balanced about Arabs in the news. Didn't you hear? We're media darlings. And remember Hitler? This is totally the same as that. (Edit/Update: can't do the sarcasm, hurts too much-- here's what Stanford has to say in case anybody's interested-- "So Gazans are immobilized in every sense: cut off from other members of their community, isolated from the �international community,� deprived of economic opportunity, basic goods, and access to advanced medical care. Imposed immobility is itself a form of violence against people, and it cruelly magnifies the violence of military assault. The current catastrophe in Gaza is a product of years of preparation. Restriction of Palestinian movement goes back to their displacement in 1948. And mobility management has been a central tactic of Israeli occupation since 1967. The phone call ahead of the bomb, the �roof knock� (a small bomb) ahead of the lethal strike, are twists in this long trajectory. That sometimes the phone call is not followed by a strike underscores its potency in psychological warfare. These tactics are yet another weapon in the massive arsenal deployed against Palestinians.") http://stanfordpress.typepad.com/blog/2014/07/isolating-gaza.html |
