Hamas being Hamas : Free Speech edition

And he was charged under the Logan act?

Oh, wait. He wasn't. Was he.

A private citizen of the US speaking to a private citizen in North Korea isn't illegal for the American.

For the North Korean they are as screwed as a Gazan.

Yes, but according to his logic, amnesty international should rat out any North Koreans talking to peaceful south koreans so those North Koreans can be abducted by a repressive terrorist organization and “disappeared”. Since, you know, some North Koreans consider South Korea to be equivalent to al-quaeda.

Anti-Israel morality is a truly perverse thing but fascinating to see how its adherents think to square the circle.
 
Yes.

Very balanced. Especially the end sentence where everything discussed prior is essentially forgotten and Israel is to blame.

Fledermaus:

Still, the only body with the power to liberate those in that prison is the Israeli government, which has elected to silence Palestinian critics of its policies instead of taking any meaningful action to achieve peace.

So what is factually inaccurate about the closing sentence which is quoted above? Nothing. The State of Israel is the only entity with the power to stop the oppression from all three factions and to give peace a chance. But to date it has not done this because it wants the land it occupied in 1967 for itself and letting Palestinians torment and kill each other discredits the Palestinian cause for a homeland while lowering some international barriers to the eventual (but still illegal) annexation of the occupied land into the State of Israel. Israel is in the cat-bird seat watching the Palestinians chicken-fight themselves to pieces and Israeli propagandists point to this infighting to make their illegal claim to the land upon which these Palestinians live.

It's a pretty low-key and balanced summary of the facts in those last three paragraphs of the article and the final sentence says that the State of Israel has a big role to play in the misery of the Palestinians. The last sentence basically says that nothing will change unless the State of Israel allows such change to happen. It's a pretty good summary of the facts on the ground in my opinion.

Cheers and be well.

Yes, yes...

The all powerful Israelis have the means to stop Hamas from being Hamas, Fatah from being Fatah, terrorists from being terrorists, etc, etc., etc........

All they have to do to satisfy all of the above is to cease being.
