[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima]I am sorry but the premise of your statement is wrong. How many Palestinians do you think practice honor killing? How many Americans kill their children? There are more Americans killing their children than there are Palestinians doing honor killing.I guess according to your logic, Americans do not respect the lives of their children so why do we expect them to respect the lives of other people?  ughhhhh[/quote]

Here in America, [b]we prosecute people for murdering their children[/b]. It is not government-sanctioned.

Yes, we do and we let a lot of them walk free.... But I don't think you want to compare America's judicial system to that of a country that is occupied, stateless and has been in war for over 6 decades. And even if every single Palestinian believed and practiced honor killing, what would be your point? That they deserve to be bombed and killed? Why don't we start executing all people who are suicidal since they don't value life.....[/quote]

That is no excuse for honor killings, sorry, especially when it is condoned within the religion and by government. Suicide affects the one who commits suicide. Suicide bombers, on the other hand, deliberately kill others -and are honored for it. In the US! Mass murderers are roundly condemned, not glorified.

Saying Israel does not respect the lives of people when  those people don't respect the lives of their own, is hypocrisy of the highest order.

Choose your argument. Which one is it? Honor killing? Suicide bombing? and they are not condoned by the religion, get your facts right. And even if every single person in Gaza was blowing himself/herself up, it wouldn't absolve Israel, so that is irrelevant.[/quote]

So, SO easy.  Are you woefully I'll-informed or deliberately misleading?

Israel is correct to defend herself from people who have shown they don't respect life, of their own people, or of Jews.  If Palestinians want to blow themselves up, have at it. Killing innocents through suicide -their own or otherwise - is reprehensible. [/quote]
