Atrocity You Want? Atrocity You'll GetIf you haven't as yet, go read a story about IDF soldiers "farming" Pal. bodies for organs. But if these Swedish antisemites want atrocity stories, they should go to the English Historical Review, Vol. 124, No. 507 to read an article by Matthew Hughes on "The Banality of Brutality: British Armed Forces and the Repression of the Arab Revolt in Palestine, 1936–39*. It seems that the British killed Arabs with their rifle butts; left them out, in Halhoul, in a cage in the sun with no water to die; loaded 50 Arabs on to a bus and drove it over a landmine after one of their patrols had earlier been ambushed near Bassa in the North; regulary smashed, slapped and beat up Arabs in police stations and machine-gunned villages as part of 'punitive' measures; and it goes on and on. Now, I wouldn't want you to think that I am asking you to forgive immoral and illegal actions taken by IDF troops just because someone else did something similar or even worse. But I just can't fathom the warped minds who hate Jews not because we actually did anything but because they need someone and something to hate. |
