There can, of
course, be no moral equivalence in the tit-for-tat killings of Israeli and
Palestinian children such as has occurred in the West Bank these last few
weeks. But, on the other hand, neither can there be any tolerance of the
killings of Palestinian children while the Western world’s press calls for
outrage when the children of Israeli settlers are killed. It’s not so much a
matter of moral equivalence as moral inequivalence. Israel
and the neocons demand the world be outraged by the deaths of three Israeli
children yet condemn those 1523 Palestinians children that have been murdered by Israeli
occupation troops since 2000 as somehow having been deserving of death because they were
throwing stones at the Israeli occupation troops.
Go figure.
Go figure.
