No Follow-Through
Via MSNBC.com:
A 64-year-old Palestinian grandmother blew herself up near Israeli troops sweeping through northern Gaza on Thursday…
Israeli forces were moving through the Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza on the second day of an operation to stem rocket fire from the coastal strip into southern Israel. They spotted a woman acting suspiciously, the military said. Soldiers threw a stun grenade, a weapon that makes a loud nose but causes no damage. The woman then set off explosives she was carrying, killing herself and slightly wounding two soldiers. [emphasis mine]
What’s the problem here? A 64-year-old suicide bomber? No, it’s her lack of resolve. She jacked herself after getting hit with a stun grenade? What a disgrace. No follow-through. Fucking amateur. If you truly want to annihilate the Jewish people and complete what Hitler started, that’s not the way to do it!

never send a palestinian grandmother to do a palestinian child’s job.

My tongue is planted firmly in cheek, if you think I am in any way advocating genocide. I am quite the Zionist, actually. If you mean I’m a racist because I think Palestinian suicide bombers are equivalent to Nazis, than I deserve your grrrs.

it’s not the equivalent, or even in the same ballpark. suicide bombing clearly sucks and is not reasonable behavior, but the palestinians are a marginalized group in an occupied territory, while the israelis (who are not necessarily “the jewish people”) are the group wielding the power.
