[lbo-talk] Rejectionists and Thugs (Was Cockburn on Hondorich)

[andie nachgeborenen]

And what does it illuminate to say that the suicide
bombers reject Israel's right to exist? Would it
vindicate them as merely misguided rather than wicked?
Or what is your point? Personally I think the whole
point is that they are desperate. That is not an
excuse, but it is  an explanation crucial to
understanding what is going on. Are they rejectionist
Probably. Is that the problem? Only a Zionist thug
would think so, sorry for the blunt language. The
probvlem si taht the Zionist thugs have adopted and
are enforcing policies that marginalize moderates,
create desperation, encourage extremisnim, and
manufacture suicide bombers. Ultimately, they will
manufacture someone who unleashes WMD against Israel.
Then there will be nuclear war. jks
