Reply #4: It's called Blaming The Victim... [View All]

Nothing else matters, not facts, when it comes to the obsession with casting the victim as the one to be blamed. Look at it their way. How stupid is it for someone to assume that the IDF would place the value of a human life over that of destroying a Palestinian home? Knowing that unlike where settlers try to stop their illegal outposts from being dismantled, the IDF doesn't wear kid gloves when it comes to anyone who opposes the occcupation. What do people expect? If yr in the Occupied Territories and yr not a settler or an Israeli carrying that unwavering vision of a Greater Israel, then if you place yrself between the IDF and their 'work', yr going to get killed...

Hey, are you old enough to remember the Franklin River blockade? Kind of interesting to find out that meti considers that those thousands of people who ended up saving the river by getting in the way of bulldozers and chaining themselves to trees were 'stupid idiots'. Tasmanian loggers obviously thought that way too. I remember at the time they were peddling t-shirts with 'Doze A Greenie Today' on them...
