kirbycairo: Israel as Victim . . . .
I saw the TV spot from the Canada-Israel Committee this morning and
found it deeply depressing. Only the most dishonest kind of political
spin can portray Israel as such a poor innocent victim. Here is a nation
which, with the backing of the strongest Western Countries took the
land of Palestine by force using the worst kinds of violence, (even
against Western Nations when they thought it would be useful). They have
maintained this power with billions and billions of Western dollars
which has built one of the strongest military powers in history, as well
as maintaining a nuclear arsenal against international treaties. But
worst of all they have continued for a generation to illegally build
settlements on land that is not theirs, against the will of the entire
world except for the US, and this constitutes the worst kind of
terrorism, because it is the intentional destruction of a people and a
culture.
