The Gamblor Peace Plan - Fire Away!

"you can't judge someone until you've walked a mile in his shoes."

So we can't judge a suicide bomber then? Or don't they have shoes?

, Qibya was only the most notorious of many "routine operations" that Sharon conducted against civilian targets

That's a pretty bold inference. Would you care to elaborate?

that killed somewhere between 2,700 and 5,000 Arabs between 1948 and 1956 (Israeli deaths numbered about 200-300),

Are you implying that because more Arabs died the ethics of the situation are somehow affected?

mostly civilians whose only crimes were either trying to retrieve property and possessions stolen by Israel

This is a lie. Civilians do not try to retrieve property with guns and bombs and try to kill other civilians, only to be stopped by Sharon's forces. Sorry.

or, as in the case of Qibya, to be Arabs

This is laughable.

I don't judge him at all.

But if I meet one planning a suicide bombing, I kill him.

Otherwise, I die. You see my logic?

I am not here to defend Israel.

I am here to explain to you why Israel does what it does.

But if you all really see the world as one big conspiracy of Zionist Propaganda and right-wing ideology, you probably should examine your own issues and realize that it doesn't matter what I offer to these people, they want me dead.

"You can't judge someone until you've walked a mile in his shoes."

Yes. That's why movie critics are all ex-actors. That's why judges are all ex-criminals. That's why you have lived in a Palestinian refugee camp.

Do I detect a whiff of paranoia here? Rhetorical question.
