To condemn, or not to condemn (Horrendous article from Mondoweiss)

[shira]

I don't know why DU allows Mondoweiss here. The writers from that vile rat's nest dedicate their entire existence to causing harm - to both Israelis and Palestinians. It's their reason for living.

Two colonists, Eitan and Naama Henkin, were murdered yesterday whilst traveling between the colonies of Itamar and Elon Moreh. Their children, thankfully, survived the attack. Hamas spokesman Husam Badran has reportedly praised the murders....

...Yes, these people were colonists: They were participating in the Zionist colonisation of occupied Palestine. But they were also not taking active part in hostilities, and are protected as civilians under international humanitarian law. This is important, because it is the same protection that Palestinian civilians should also enjoy....

...The slaughter of Eitan and Naama Henkin is terrorism in the same way that the slaughter of hundreds of innocent men, women and children in Gaza is terrorism. Either oppose both equally, or accept that you are led by primitive tribalism rather than principles....

1. Translation of article...

1. It dehumanizes the Henkins (colonists) and thereby justifies their murders...making the event understandable. This kind of incitement only leads to more violence.

2. Going after Hamas in Gaza for shooting rockets....a place where Hamas intentionally hides behind its women & children, using them as militants & wanting them killed for PR purposes.... is not the same as the cold-blooded brutal murder of 2 Jewish parents who had their 4 children in the car witnessing it.

The psychopathic depraved narcissist writing this article would do better to compare the Henkin murders with that of the kidnapping & burning of Mohammad Abu Kheidr. They are equivalent.

But Mondoweiss is an insane asylum.

Its unhinged Jew-hating writers are incapable of thinking clearly when it comes to Israel.

Why is Mondoweiss still allowed here?

2. Your version of google translate is very strange, Shira.

4. I get quite the opposite impression from reading the OP.

The OP is actually exposing the double standard of some people who only condemn the wrongdoings of one side. From the article:

Supporters of the Zionist regime in Israel were quick to condemn the attack as terrorism, but typically fell silent when the marauding colonists and Zionist militants began attacking Nablus.

Supporters of Palestine were quick to condemn the burning to death of the Dawabsha family, but fall silent or choose to equivocate when colonists are murdered.

3. The morality that does not condemn intentional murder of innocent civilians

is reprehensible. Mondoweiss is a hate site masquerading as progressive. Alas, it does seem to have some fans at DU.
