Rule 1: In the Middle East, it is always the Palestinians that attack first, and it's always Israel who defends itself. This is called "retaliation".
Rule 2: The Palestinians are not allowed to kill Israelis. This is called "terrorism".
Rule 3: Israel has the right to kill Palestinian civilians; this is called "self-defense", or "collateral damage".
Rule 4: When Israel kills too many Palestinian civilians, the Western world calls for restraint. This is called the "reaction of the international community".
Rule #5: Palestinians do not have the right to capture Israeli military, not even 1 or 2.
Rule 6: Israel has the right to capture as many Palestinians as they want (around 10,000 to date being held without trial). There is no limit; there is no need for proof of guilt or trial. All that is needed is the magic word: "terrorism".
Rule 7: When you say "Hamas", always be sure to add "supported by Hezbo-Allah, Syria and Iran".
Rule 8: When you say "Israel", never say "supported by the USA, the UK, European countries and even some Arab regimes", for people (God forbid) might believe this is not an equal conflict.
Rule #9: When it comes to Israel, don't mention the words "occupied territories", "UN resolutions", "Geneva conventions". This could distress the audience of Fox, CNN, etc.
Rule #10: Israelis speak better English than Arabs. This is why we let them speak out as much as possible, so that they can explain rules 1 through 9. This is called "neutral journalism".
Rule #11: If you don't agree with these rules or if you favor the Palestinian side over the Israeli side, you must be a very dangerous anti-Semite. You may even have to make a public apology if you express your honest opinion.
I just saw this picture, had no idea where to post it, didn't want to start a whole new thread for it, so I'm posting it here.
Its the usual hate garbage. One could probably write equally touchy and stupid onesided text for Israeli side. Ill give it a try:
YOU
terrorize my granparents
attack instantly when we declare independence
evict my kin
start a tradition of invading israel every decade and not give up until we beat you repeatedly
blow up my pregnant sister in a bus
slay my uncle in his car
reward me by a rain of rockets
want to drive us to the sea
refuse to recognice our right to exist
BUT
I am to blame because I build a wall to defend my family and refuse to trade with you.
It's not hate garbage, more like a voice from the side less heard.
Which really is another cliche of the systematic campaign to demonize Israel.
There is plenty of voice in form of news underlining the suffering of palestinians, blaming only israel (and yes, there also is articles blaming only palestinians) or even from the demonstrations protesting against Israel.

Don't let facts get in the way of a good story.
Factual accurasy was never the point of the original message either.
And I disagree with your view of the history and how things went.

BUT
I am to blame because I build a wall to defend my family and refuse to trade with you. Your'e too easy u know that?
Oh, Israel doesn't need a campaign for that, it does it pretty well on its own.:smile:
Even if it was true, I dont really see how that changes the message to something less hateful.

Besides, you also forgot to comment on the part of the hate message which belittles rocket fire against civilians. Just for example blockade of Gaza didnt start in earnest until after israeli withdrawal (ah something the little hate message forgot to mention) was rewarded with increased rocket fire.
The original message should go something like this:
you tried to settle things peacefully and unilaterally withdrew from Gaza
and we rewarded you with thousands of rockets.
Tit for tat? Congrats you win. The point was never in earnest, Im well aware that israelis are not blameless, but rather illustrate that the original hate message is just equal hogwash.

Reason: typo

Building a wall around your country and cutting economic relations with a different country is all fine and dandy.
Building a wall around a country that is not yours, and forbidding anything or anyone from coming in or going out, that however, is not.

Israelis certainly think its theirs.
I'm off now, I'm gonna try getting flowers from Gaza, funny thing, Israel only lifted the siege so Gazans coud export flowers to Europe.

Naturally (tho I have a feeling that we have rather different opinion as to what rightfully belongs to Israel). My little piece of text was never serious, it was intented to be just as full of holes as the original violence against civilians whitewashing hate fix of the day, just made for the otherside.
