I'm pissed off at some Arabs these days...
Not because they are not doing anything to support people who are getting killed, maimed, starved, believed and treated worse than animals in Gaza
But because they're blaming these victims for being the reason for this war. They're blaming them for starting it. For attacking Israel. Sometimes calling it, you can't pick a fight with someone larger than your size. Others blaming them because they knew ahead of time that Israel is going to be very cruel in it's retaliation. Or because they live in densely populated areas, therefore the choice of fighting back isn't really theirs
Well, excuse me, but this war wasn't ignited because they did something. This war NEVER stopped. It has been ongoing for decades and this recent wave isn't the result of a tit-for-tat action
Don't you think someone resisting would rather be resisting from the comfort of his air-conditioned-UV-shielded-oxygen-supplied F16 seat where he's far from harm and all he has to do is play a video game where he picks targets on a dim-lit screen and bang! Then he can go home a hero?
That choice isn't available...

Then watch the US media!
Few minutes in front of Fox news or CNN are enough to make the blood of a polar bear boil
I decided to retreat to the comfort of my Aljazeera, to get these feelings of frustration and betrayal by the media that claims to be fair and balanced. If not credit-worthy and reports only the truth.
I don't understand how people who work in the mainstream media sleep at night, when they blatantly look you in the eye and with the most sincere, calm, confident voice lie to you...
Never forget, it's payback time!

What do all the honor murderers try to accomplish with murder? To wipe out the shame and the name of their victims from history. Right?
Here's a good way we, as a society, help thwart that goal. Let's all keep their memory alive!
