Now Jacob, that's not at all accurate, and it's not about "editing": "...nobody in America complains." When the deceased old guy in a wheelchair happens to be a terrorist, responsible for the deaths of many ordinary civilians, there is at least ONE person in America who complains — that would be you, as is evident here. When the other old guy in a wheelchair happens to be a baker or plumber or whatever Klinghoffer was, simply taking his wife on a cruise ship, then the rest of us complain. That is the difference.
You can complain about the poor terrorist. We'll complain about the non-terrorist. Simple. Then you can complain quite some more about people stating that you're apologetic for terrorists. I realize it's a totally unfair bummer that murderous terrorists are held to a different standard, but — whoever said life is fair? Maybe Klinghoffer would agree.
"When Israel kills in cold blood, for political reasons, an unarmed blind quadruplegic old man in a wheelchair, nobody in America complains. But when Abu Abbas killed an old man in a wheelchair, this was used for decades, to Incite further hatred of Arabs. It's all in the editing. " |
