WAR, HUH, What is it good for?

Dear Global War on Terror, please introduce yourself to the Red Queen.

The more you fight, the more you lose.

The only way to win is to stop fighting.

The simple truth is that Israel's activities all along have been illegal and in contravention
of the principles outlined in the UN Charter and the Geneva Conventions.

Rather than argue against the Zionist machine, let's try to defend it.

It's more fun this way.

Israel can arrest duly elected officials of the Palestinian Authority because Nazis murdered
millions of Jews in Europe. 

It is acceptable for Israel to take land from Palestinians because several thousand years ago,
God gave this land to all Jews. It is the Palestinians' own fault that they foolishly tried to live
in a region where someday Zionist settlers would return to claim what is rightfully theirs.

When taking land and water from Palestinians who present resistance, Israel, regrettably,
sometimes must kill them.

Israel also regrets the deaths of over a thousand Palestinian children who were in the wrong
place at the wrong time, namely in a sniper's bulls eye centered on the child's head at the time
or another regrettable juxtaposition.

The EU, the UN and the US should not criticize Israel for taking land from people who legally
own it, farm it and depend on it for their livelihood, because it is only a small sliver of land and
besides, Darfur and Rwanda happened and the EU, the UN and the US did not step in to prevent
those instances of genocide. Israel should not be singled out for special adverse treatment until
all other instances of genocide have been corrected.

Israel receives billions of dollars in direct and indirect aid every year because Israel has a special
relationship with the United States.

Palestinians who carry guns are militants and may be shot on sight because Israel has no negotiating
partner for peace on the Palestinians side.

Israelis who carry guns are righteous and honorable because Israel has the moral high ground.

Israel is an honest broker of the peace and the truth. Examples of coverups and distortions are
brought to light by anti-Semitic extremists.

Palestinians can never be trusted to tell the truth, or when they expose the rare example of a media
bias, it is overplayed. The repeated instances of over-reporting of Israeli deaths (where one death is
reported repeatedly giving the impression of a higher death toll) and under-reporting of Palestinian deaths
(which are often not reported) give the impression that Israelis suffer more deaths than Palistinians, true,
but to call attention to this pattern of media bias is anti-semitic.

Besides, Palestinians do not exist (Golda Mier) and Palestinians must recognize Israel.

[Satire mode off]

Really, this nonsense has to stop. Israel is a rogue nation and a failed state, undeserving of US support and it is past time to let Israel pass or fail on her own.
