[Joe Dees 1] But the Palestinians kill suspected collaborators all the time.
[Hermit 2] Another unsubstantiated and unsubstantiable opinion and another attempted equation of harms.
[Hermit 2] How are the mighty fallen.
[Joe Dees 3] Yep, you fell flat on your ass on this one - yet again. What part of During the seven-year Palestinian uprising against the Israeli occupation, at least 1,200 Palestinians were killed, almost half of them by fellow Palestinians who suspected they were collaborators with the Israeli military government. don't you understand?
[Hermit 4] No Joe. You are being irrational and reading what you wish to see, not what is written. Some Palestinians may have killed some suspected collaborators. That does not mean that all Palestinians kill suspected collaborators.
[Hermit 4] You also miss the other crucial point. You cannot equate harms. As an example, far more blacks were killed in South Africa by ANC supporters than ever were killed by the South African government (Refer the previously referenced TRC report). Would you have supported that the South African Government starve all blacks into submission in an attempt to prevent this?
