NEOCONS AND THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF ‘MORAL EQUIVALENCE’

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.
