I wonder how Israeli supporters will react to the latest murderous attack on unarmed protesters, by the IDF – the Israeli Death Force.
The most recent act of murder warranted less than two minutes on BBC News24, and was the third story. The top story, about another corrupt rich banker, had 13 minutes dedicated to it.
I hope people won’t try to say that the protesters were armed or a major threat, just like the lies circulated about the killings on the Mavi Mamara (as proved by the UN and other news agencies.
Israel can murder with impunity because the International community allow it, including the USA, the UK, the EU and other major players.
Yet an aid of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu couldn’t travel recently, for fear of arrest for war crimes.
When can we all agree that the killing of unarmed people, protesting or otherwise, is against all laws or morals, in Libya, Palestine or anywhere else?
Just don’t expect agencies like the so-called impartial BBC to help, as its pathetic news accounts prove.
When do we hear of protesters killed in the Yemen or Bahrain? Rarely, because these two countries are our allies in the war on terror. Yet people are killed there every day.
It would be great if we could all condemn innocent deaths. But I won't hold my breath.
The bottom line is, for some people, the Palestinians just don’t count.
