Burston writes: "I would like them to divest from terrorism. Not understand it as the natural outgrowth of the crimes of occupation. For once, I would like my sisters and brothers on the left to be every bit as hard on their comrades the Palestinians for taking a bulldozer and crushing Jews, as they are on Israel for bulldozing homes. "
Caterpillars destroying houses are `official Israeli government policy` aimed at humiliating and expelling non-Jews from Jerusalem. This act today was of ONE deranged individual, just as the Jewish terrorist who attacked Arabs on a bus a couple of years ago. I condemn this act, but also condemn Burston for calling this guy "Hero of Palestine" because he wants to "kill Jews" (as opposed to a deranged individual who charged at Israelis). That is a sad attempt at dehumanization and pathetic generalization. The Palestinian-haters who are soon to fill this talkback will be proud. |
