<Had Martin Luther King led a campaign of suicide bombers in Birmingham, the South would still be segregated.> And if that was the case, would you be posting notes defending racial segregation?

A: But I was talking about the Jews.

If you are a thief, and someone notices you with your hand in their pocket, about to take their wallet, what can you do? Your method, is to adopt a pose of outrage and surprise, point to someone else in the crowd, and shout "Thief!". Then, while the crowd's attention has shifted, and the accused is defending himself, you slip away. This technique works especially well, if whoever you are pointing at happens to be a thief.

This method can used whether the accusation is theft, apartheid, colonialism, human rights abuses, ethnic cleansing, wars of aggression.
