Terrorists want Israel to kill civilians
By ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ

The increasing number of Palestinian civilian casualties unintentionally inflicted by Israel in its effort to stop rocket attacks against its own civilians reflects the success of the terrorists' policy.

The goal of Palestinian terrorism is to increase the number of civilian deaths on both sides. Yes, the Palestinian terrorists who now fire rockets into Israel from Gaza want the IDF to kill Palestinian women, children and old men. If they did not, they would fire their rockets from isolated areas, where there are no civilians. Instead, they deliberately fire their rockets from heavily populated civilian areas in order to induce Israel to cause the highest possible number of Palestinian civilian casualties.

No wonder the victims are treated as martyrs. They are the new suicide terrorists - only they did not volunteer to die for the cause. They were "volunteered" by the terrorists who selected their neighborhood as the place from which to fire their missiles.

Perhaps the most notorious example of this deadly form of child abuse took place in 2004, when an 11-year-old Palestinian child was paid one dollar to take a parcel through Israeli security. Unbeknownst to the child the parcel contained a bomb that was supposed to be detonated remotely as he was passing through the checkpoint.

Fortunately for him, and for the Israelis at the checkpoint, the plot was foiled. After the Israeli authorities determined that the boy was an innocent dupe, they released him to his parents.

His mother blamed the Israelis.

1. Torture boy Dershowitz is still around?

His 15 minutes were up a long time ago. Hey Alan, go fuck yourself asshole.

Don

[Malikshah]

2. Couldn't have said it better myself-- Torture Boy can go take a

flying leap into a wood chipper.

Hateful person, that.

[Ian David]

3. He's not my favorite person, either. But on this, he's pretty much right.

[burythehatchet]

15. When he fits your fantasies, he's pretty much right

If not...

[warrens]

4. Dershowitz may be right or may be wrong

But this is just his opinion, presented as fact. I would agree that civilian deaths play into Hamas' and Hezbollah's hands (and the insurgents in Iraq), but if you're chumpass enough to fall for it, as our reigning Chimp is, and evidently the leadership in Israel as well, too effing bad.

13. the expression on that little girl's face is sickening.

I find her repulsive to look at and that is sad.

6. isn't it obvious that basically NOBODY involved gives a shit

about these deaths, a third of which are children?

especially the ones doing the killing

[BillZBubb]

7. How many times will you recycle this BULLSHIT??????

Dershowitz is an so blinded by his Israel Uber Alles stance he can't even see how stupid his argument is.

[acmavm]

8. Yeah, Israel has NO CHOICE but to bomb civlians,

hospitals, key highways, airports. They HAVE TO KILL indiscrimanently because HEBZOLLAH made 'em do it.

[endarkenment]

9. You are shameless. nt.

[GeorgeGist]

10. And the Israelis are happy to oblige.

[whistle]

11. Palestinian civilian casualties unintentionally inflicted by Israel ????

...Say what? If Israeli military had no intention of inflicting civilian casualties, they would have avoided indiscriminate saturating rocket bombing of civilian neighborhoods. What a bunch of propaganda hogwash. The casualties among Palestinian and Lebanese civilians was intentional, calculated and deliberate on the part of Israel's military. ALAN M. DERSHOWITZ is now just being a scumbag attorney for his client the government of Israel.

12. The suits are happy

playing their games using people as pawns for their own ends. The military industrial complex is happy as business booms. The sheep buy the propaganda and take sides and the killing escalates. No one bothers to try talking as adults. No one cares about making peace. It makes me sick.

14. Some Israelis must feel a lot of guilt is they have to come up with this.

This is extremely implausible. It violates basic human nature. A few psychopaths are like this, but they are rare. And especially rare among spiritual people, which, by definition, most muslims are.

This kind of thinking is something that people who feel a lot of shame and guilt would use in order to console themselves. Maybe this is a good thing. People who kill in cold blood (like some in the US) do not need to create myths about how the victims actually staged their own deaths. Maybe it shows an unusually high degree of morality among people in Israel.

There may be hope for the region.
