JFC I hope you're right. But. . .That smells of bullshit.
Who's trying to dictate anything to the Palestinian resistance? All we can do is play the hurler on the ditch. . . And if this latest horror turns out to be for real. . .I don’t think outsiders have any right to dictate what is appropriate for Palestinian resistance. The idea that there is acceptable resistance and unacceptable resistance is farcical and completely hypocritical.
Utter horseshit. You can't have moral lines you draw in the world?I don’t think outsiders have any right to dictate what is appropriate for Palestinian resistance. The idea that there is acceptable resistance and unacceptable resistance is farcical and completely hypocritical.

I don't belive it to be true, but this post is after a report of babies being beheaded?Utter horseshit. You can't have moral lines you draw in the world?

972mag is very good. I'd recommend them for people who want to read Palestinian and Israeli writers many of whom live there.This is interesting on Netanyahu and Hamas.
The end of the Netanyahu doctrine
The prime minister's claim that Middle East peace was possible without the Palestinians has been shattered by Hamas' incursion, and the ensuing war.www.972mag.com
I don’t see how anyone can defend this as ‘resistance’ or anything other than terrorism.
We haven't lived our whole lives in an Israeli-run prison colony, discriminated against and threatened every day of our lives, loved ones regularly seen needlessly dying, dispossessed and mostly forgotten by the rest of the world. A bit of humility is due, at the very least, from those of us who criticise.

Why is it hypocritical to advocate an ethical standard?I don’t think outsiders have any right to dictate what is appropriate for Palestinian resistance. The idea that there is acceptable resistance and unacceptable resistance is farcical and completely hypocritical.
Because you don’t, whilst trying to impose your ethical standards, share the reality of experience that the Palestinians face.Why is it hypocritical to advocate an ethical standard?
I'll believe the baby story when I see it in Haaretz or the JP - not saying it's not true, it wouldn't surprise me - it's just there's a lots of excitable/panicked/deranged people posting on SM.
The BBC is having a bit of a mare this week - they're still reporting tensions between Vortigern and the Hengist PMC....
I think you can criticise peace activists being kidnapped, raped teenagers being paraded around, etcA bit of humility is due, at the very least, from those of us who criticise.
Do you feel the same about Ukrainian resistance? If you don't, why not?I don’t think outsiders have any right to dictate what is appropriate for Palestinian resistance. The idea that there is acceptable resistance and unacceptable resistance is farcical and completely hypocritical.
Yes, fair enough. I'm thinking more of the Palestinians who support Hamas than those committing rape, tbf.I think you can criticise peace activists being kidnapped, raped teenagers being paraded around, etc
And the 'Those who criticise' line has been used by zionist apologists re Israel countless times through the years
Then there can be no universally applicable ethical standards.Because you don’t, whilst trying to impose your ethical standards, share the reality of experience that the Palestinians face.
No problem. The wording of your post wasn't entirely clear.Yes, fair enough. I'm thinking more of the Palestinians who support Hamas than those committing rape, tbf.
