Ahed Tamimi: The Mandela of Palestine?

[Ken Burch]

2. In the universe when it's aimed at the heavily-armed soldier who just shot your cousin in the head

in your own front yard, when any of us, seeing such a brutal and unjustified act, could easily react in exactly the same way?

There's no universe in which that soldier is, in any sense, a victim.

BTW...everyone here agrees that "Jewish Lives Matter".

It's inappropriate to imply that that idea is in any way subject to debate in this group.

Nothing Netanyahu is doing protects Jewish lives. The Occupation doesn't protect those lives. The settlements in the West Bank don't protect those lives. Neither does anything Netanyahu does to Gaza.

All any of that is about is taking land for the SAKE of indulging an ideological fixation with taking land. None of it can lead to "victory&quot victory in a military sense is impossible in this conflict and would produce nothing but ugliness and retribution if it was possible) and you know perfectly well that none of it can ever lead to anything resembling peace.
