93. Answers. Now your turn...
Edited on Mon Mar-14-11 06:35 PM by shira
'Just adding a question now that you listed two examples of what you claim you'd consider to be legitimate criticism of the IDF. What exactly is it about each of those two that makes it acceptable criticism to you? For example, is it acceptable to you to criticise the IDF for inaction at Sabra/Shatilla because it's possible to point out that while they didn't do anything to stop the atrocity, it wasn't the IDF who carried it out?

It's acceptable because the IDF should have done something when they had the opportunity. It has nothing to do with Israel not carrying it out.

And a question about cluster bombs. Do you think the IDF can be legitimately criticised for laying ordinance in the Occupied Territories and just leaving them there for small Palestinian children to walk on and get blown to bits?

Of course they should be criticized if they do that.

Or is it because it's cluster bombs in Lebanon that makes it different?'

Makes no difference whether the cluster bombs are left in Lebanon or the Palestinian territories.

Now please answer me.

Are Galloway, Booth, and Ridley bigots for spewing far Rightwing Iranian antisemitic filth on PRESS-TV?
