    wait.... let me get this straight.... you think israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians?
    according to webster, the definition of genocide is:
    the deliberate and systematic destruction of a racial, political, or cultural group
    lets see. we arent rounding up Palestinians and killing them. we arent massacring israeli Palestinians, and they have rights and can vote and can bring cases to the supreme court of israel.
    that, my friend, is not genocide. if it really was genocide, then arabs in israel would be rounded up and killed. but they arent.

    and who classes the situation in gaza a genocide? colin powell? the UN? who else wants to condemn israel when there are really serious human rights abuses in china and such countries, apartheid for women in arab countries, and they say little about that.

    you may say because israel is a democracy, it mjust act better, but my good sir, a nation is a nation. just because a country may be a dictatorship, does not make it less responsible for human rights violations. in fact, Professor Irwin Cotler, a leading scholar in human rights said that the singling out of Israel for differential and discriminatory treatment in the international arena is a modern form of anti-semitism. if you want ill post the other eight sets of modern anti-semitism which he identifies.

    let me be clear- i acknowledge that israel has committed human rights abuses, and i condemn them. it was wrong that they did them and nothing can excuse the abuses. but to overly condemn them and much less other countries is just wrong. one who is truly for human rights would be equal to all countries in terms of condemnation.

    o ya, about that medialens report, medialens is known to be biased, just like CAMERA can be. you dont let me use CAMERA but you use medialens?
