Mr. Nestler, supposedly 1,314 Palestinians have been killed by the state of Israel
You would have the world call these people “Arabs:”
Supposedly 1,314 Arabs have been killed by the state of Israel in Palestine
Is this more suitable?
When we are children we see something like this
And we think–this is unfair, this is senseless killing.
Only as we grow older do we cultivate more nuanced views
And are able to look at Israel’s actions as anything
Other than those of a bully–
a bully supplied by America with one of the world’s finest militaries
When you use words like “parasite” to describe Israel’s enemy
And say Hamas and Hezbollah “must be exterminated”
Your words sound awfully familiar…
And the resemblance to the worst of Israel’s current enemies discredits you.
Killing has been the consequence of sentiments like yours
And I continue to wait for the explanation of why Israel’s actions are justified
And why Palestinians cannot pursue their lives without ever more barriers.
Until then I remain firmly on the Palestinians’ side
in the “Public Relations War” you speciously make equivalent to real, life-ending war.
