And still, not one word on the REAL genocides ...
You see, this is the interesting thing: as long as you are massacring your
own citizens, nobody is really bothered. It’s when you start slaughtering
the citizens of other nations, that’s when it starts getting people to notice.
If Israel were to accept Palestinians as its own citizens, then it could slaughter them to its heart’s content, and much of the world would be fine with it. The trouble is, it wants their land, but it doesn’t want to
accept them as owners and occupiers of that land. That’s what sticks in people’s craw.
Think of how Hitler himself was able to get away with slaughtering Jews, Gypsies and all the others the Nazis considered “inferior” people for so long; as long as they were his own citizens, his friends in America and elsewhere were quite fine with it. Once he started menacing other
countries’ people (Poland), that’s when he went from “good guy” to “bad
guy”.
