Quote from Gates - Reuters

Talking about the Rocket attacks on Israel from Palestinians, Gates Said: "Israelis will have to make their own decision in terms of how to respond. No sovereign state can tolerate having rockets fired at its people."  


So how is it that Libya should have tolerated armed rebels? And Pakistan and Yemen and Iraq and Afghanistan tolerate US drone attacks and bombing? If we follow Gates' logic then actions could be taken by these countries against the US?


 What it comes down to is that Gates believes some countries are more equal than others.


 Also, we would like to remind Gates that it is Israel which attacked Palestine and killed 4 civilians, 3 of whom children does it implies that it was Palestine's choice how it was going to react?


The whole waring machismo is getting out of hand, and looking at how many Muslim countries we are pounding it is hard not to agree with their leaders when they describe the attacks on their country as a 21st century crusade. 


The West and Israel are the most terrorizing states at this time and their murdering of muslim civilians can only have negative repercussions.


If Israel wants peace it must stop building settlements, demolishing homes, violating Palestinian human rights, end the occupation and apartheid. I strongly believe that Palestinians and Israelis alike want peace, but the Israeli government does not.
