Gaza Debate Goes Virtual
Ian Lamont writes "The war of words over the conflict in Gaza has moved from the real world to the Internet. Besides a furious stream of mini-debates on Twitter between supporters of and critics of Israel's military actions, there have also been demonstrations in Second Life at an Israel-themed sim and a collection of Facebook applications, including 'QassamCount' and 'Stop Israel's war crimes in Gaza.' Another project — 'mapping the war in Gaza' — was launched by Al Jazeera and takes user-submitted reports, tweets, and Microsoft Virtual Earth to track the number of casualties and other developments."
In addition to this, the series of website defacements we discussed a few days ago has now extended to sites controlled by NATO and the US Army.
The only thing I understand is that Israeli troops like killing british TV journalists, school children, other civilians and UN safe houses.
You can try and defend that all you want but they have more collateral damage then the US army in Iraq.
It's no wonder they're getting rocket bombed, if my kid or wife was killed I'd be on the front line too. I'm hoping for the day that they'll just stop killing people for a few years and let the tensions and hatred die so there can finally be some peace but after so many decades it seems they won't be satisfied until one genocides the other.
Perhaps it would be better for the world to just nuke both of them out of existence. If they can't get along then neither side deserves to live.
Pst. The original zionists got the entire province of palestine for themselves from someone who was generally referred to as "the caliph". There was no conquest involved.
Pst. There is no such thing as "muslim land". The only land that was peacefully converted to islam is a tiny part of 1 city : medina. All the rest was conquered. That would be "muslim-occupied land".
Pst. Let's drive muslims out of every piece of berber land (most of southern sahara). Christian land (north africa, egypt, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia) and out of Hindu Land (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, ...)
Let's be fair, and reject conquest. Let's drive all muslims into one neighboorhood of the only voluntary muslim neighboorhood.
Let's end the muslim occupation of northern africa ! Let's END islam in Africa, in the middle east and in Asia.
Because that would be "just", ending occupation.
Oh yeah you're right. Everyone knows the Israeli Jews are always the victim. You guys have US weapons, US backing from the fucking israeli lobbying over in the state and always step behind this banner of "Never again". It's always funny how you will go to great lengths of ruthless killing campaigns all in the name of "never again". Every since the formation of that fucking shit country Israel, there has been nothing but trouble in the Middle East. You zionist motherfuckers have our backing and we get a big shit taken on us because of it. Fuck Israel's artificial post-WWII right to exist.
After one side has won do you really want to deal with a race that is fine with genocide? Your race might be next!
Nuke them both and be done with it. It's the safest possible solution.
