Ethnic Cleansing Redefined

[American Germanic Fox]

[size=12pt]Israeli settlers claim that if they are moved it would be ethnic cleansing. I believe that this is a perversion of human rights laws which are meant to prevent what the settlers have done to the Palestinians, that is stealing Palestinian land. Can removing occupiers really be compared to ethnic cleansing?

Are they anything more than squaters? Are there any international laws that protect squatters?

What do you think?[/size]

Sorry.

Reminds me of psychopathic "logic". The man who murdered his parents claimed that he deserved special consideration because he was an orphan.

Thanks for your reply, Laura. I haven't ever thought of it like that. It is a complex situation and I appreciate it when someone is willing to discuss it with me.

AGF, read "Political Ponerology" and as much material you can on psychopathology. It's somewhat easier to deal with reality when you understand (to some extent) how it works and why it is the way it is. The only way it can change is for more and more individuals who make up social organisms to become awake and aware of how things work and why; especially their own mechanicalness.

I want to share with you this video that is pure emotion and conveys the suffering endured by the population of the occupied territories
