You're defending a country that laid claim to land that wasn't theirs and is now bitching since Adolf Hitler lost the war and the land was returned to the Israel, face it kid. You're smearing one of the few countries in the middle east that doesn't marry off small children to old as shit men, force women to cover their faces or be killed, or actively try to kill people that don't think the same way, and for what? Brownie points? Your posts are making you sound more and more like a psychopath just going by how pissed you're getting.

What makes you and the other guy sound like cynically amoral, numbed sociopaths is that you think it's wrong to object to civilians being incinerated with white phosphorus because it somehow concedes undeserved points to the victims, and it's better for everyone to keep silent about it. Apparently, what makes me sound like a psychopath is being irritated by the crass idiocy of some half-head trying to make some utterly bonkers linkage between not wanting to see incendiaries used recklessly in Gaza and supporting child marriage in Gaza.

Democracies don't get carte blanche for their foreign policies just because they're democracies at home. No one's hypocritically holding Israel to a higher standard than other countries; instead, critics are judging Israel according to the standard that its governments and supporters have claimed for it: namely, as a western-style liberal democracy. You want us to believe you're one? Then make sure you behave like one. Christ knows your supporters can't be relied on to serve as your conscience -- they don't give a shit what you do.
