Israel and Human-Rights Violations

Share

Regarding your editorial on Israel and its dealing with Palestinian protesters, some things need to be said that you did not say. The situation in Israel and the West Bank is difficult for most Americans to fathom and to understand, as is the reaction of Israelis in uniform to the street violence and rebellion of Palestinians.

What is unconscionable about the intifada is that children and women have been sent by those that inspired the rebellion to go and do all the fighting and perpetrate the violence, and incur the tragic consequences of that, while the men are all off doing something else. Just as indecent as Israeli bullets is the fact that you don’t send children and women to right your revolution for you because that looks compelling on camera.
