Just yesterday, a Palestinian couple was living a scenario right out of American folklore: the wife was in heavy labor in the back seat of their car, and the husband was driving her to the hospital in a state of extreme panic. Now, every red-blooded American knows the cops are supposed to pull this guy over, determine his malfunction, and then give him a sirens-blaring escort to the hospital, right? I mean, that's what they always do in the movies (duh, slobber)

All of which makes the reality of this couple's experience that much more disturbing. It seems genocidal IDF stormtroopers don't view this scenario with quite the same tender sensibility. In this instance, the sub-insect in question drew a bead on the husband's head with his sniper rifle and deposited his brains as an aerosol all over the wife, who also took a bullet as the car now left the road totally out of control and crashed.

A third occupant of the car also had a bullet wound, which makes three, and yet the IDF jackboots lie -- as always -- saying they never fired directly at the car.

This is only the latest in a string of utterly inhuman acts perpetrated by the IDF just in the past week. For instance, there was the IDF tank that blew seven Palestinian youths to pieces in a Gaza strawberry field. This kind of shit HAPPENS TO PALESTINIANS CONTINUALLY, ALMOST EVERY DAY. Can you imagine the kind of concerted howling that would issue from every television in sight if this couple had been Israeli and the shooter Palestinian? Why, you wouldn't see an end to all the screaming and drum-pounding for months! But it happened the other way, so you don't hear about it at all (the above article is AUSTRALIAN). And it happens ALL THE TIME. For Palestinians, it's the constant backdrop of life.

By way of contrast, when was the last time you heard about a Palestinian suicide bombing? And you WOULD HAVE heard... Keep in mind this is the thing the Israelis and zionists keep holding up to sanitize their ruthlessness. Has such a thing even been attempted lately? When CT, JAT, Kaplan, etc. leap in to insist it has, blood dripping from their fangs, will you believe them? Why? All their "sources" are just like them, rabid ideologues

Hold up the day-to-day REALITY of all the different kinds of violence the Palestinians absorb, and compare it to that which the Israelis endure, and any way you cut it the Palestinians are being destroyed while the Israelis reign supreme.

So excuse me if I want to spray my monitor with puke when I see this invidious asshole Lee Kaplan talking about which category of government Israel falls into as if this absolves or defends a fucking thing. You know what, Lee, lying bigot asshole? The United States was a "democracy," too, during the 114 years in which we massacred Indians continuously from the Alleghenies to the Pacific. To justify their villainy to themselves, Americans told themselves all the same putrid lies you tell yourself:

"We're just liberating them from savagery"

"This land is too good for the likes of these heathens -- God wants US to have it"

"Well, we have to DEFEND OURSELVES!"

and so on. And just like yours, their lies didn't justify shit, not then and not ever. They were just the conceits by which we slithered around the simple truth that we were greedy bigoted murdering monsters. We haven't really changed or learned much since then, either.

There's no forgetting or forgiving crimes this enormous. Americans better hope and pray justice is never served on us for what we did to the Indians, because if it ever is, all our exalted "prosperity" and "greatness" will be so many ashes sifting through our fingers.

And so too with Israel.
