Correction: the imam was not referring to suicide, but genocide...Besides, you can also see how the Electronic Intifada is totally not even trying to understand Ayelet Shaked's (the lawmaker's) point. She is saying that people get upset that women and children are hurt in the Israeli (retaliation) attacks. All she does is argue (as a expert in law) that war is between two peoples, not just between armies. And when peoples are at war, civilian casualties are part of that war. Especially since, and we all know this, military installations are placed in neighbourhoods where these women and children live. All in all she calls these women and children casualties of war between two peoples. I gather she argues that war makers shouldn't use these casualties as a justification that Israel is the evil party.
So yeah, it's kinda sad that she justifies these casualties as part of the war, and then Electronic Intifada interprets these remarks as 'a call for genocide'. And then Geeker refers to this article as proof that Israel calls for genocide.... And that's how it goes on and on and on and on. And nothing ever changes, no one listens... oh, yes and of course God or Allah are called upon to also justify both sides for causing endless misery, spilling of blood and even more hate...
You really don't get any of it do you? But then you are American, one of the nations who handed the occupied region to your Bankers after the second world war and displaced another group of people.
Now the Bankers wish to eradicate the Palestinians completely, backed by the U.S. war machine.
