"While you're advocating hearing from only one side of a war, do you also have good things to say about Israel's banning of Arab political parties? The two go hand and hand."
Now you've done it. Get ready for the next fifty Winsmith posts arguing that the banning is the completely legitimate act of a representative democracy.
"because I have an alternative perspective?"
You have a perspective? That's not clear from your posts.
As I mentioned in a previous post:
"Rovera [Donatella Rovera, an Amnesty investigator in Israel] has also collected evidence that the Israeli army holds Palestinian families prisoner in their own homes as human shields. "It's standard practice for Israeli soldiers to go into a house, lock up the family in a room on the ground floor and use the rest of the house as a military base, as a sniper's position. That is the absolute textbook case of human shields.
"It has been practised by the Israeli army for many years and they are doing it again in Gaza now," she said."

None of Israel's claims about Palestinian factions using their own civilians as human shields have been corroborated by human rights organizations or foreign media (which is prohibited by Israel from going into Gaza so as they won't see what's going on there). Yet Israel continues to cynically use these claims to justify the wholesale slaughter of civilians.
I'll say. He was skittering all over the place about the ceasefire, but he was adamant that the Palestinian People are unified, and the only thing that matters is stopping the Israeli assault on Gaza. No criticism of Hamas, no sir. And the Presidency question will just have to wait.
Earlier there was a Hamas press conference in Cairo, and it turned into a circus with reporters yelling over each other and many accusations flying at Hamas, but only a little bit was in English, and the translation of the Arabic was slow or nonexistent. The Hamas people pretty much just got up and left while the reporters kept screaming.
Thanks omoo for the terrorist-loving Reuters Thing.
It's as though there's a competition to see who can write the post(rant) regurgitating the most trite, stereotypical right-wing talking points. I think I've seen every single pro-war cliché repeated here, some many times over.
ps--To anyone wondering why their posts are being deleted: writing 2-3 posts per page will do that. FYI.

I know. It's my fault. I should know better -- I just couldn't believe that someone would actually argue that journalistic principles means that we should only hear from one side in a brutal, vicious, profoundly controversial war -- and that the side we shouldn't hear from is the side that is all but defenseless, imprisoned, surrounded, and besieged.
Ordinarily I would say that it would be hard for anyone to justify the banning of those parties but for someone who actually supports the notion of excluding Palestinian voices from our Op-Ed pages, it should actually be quite easy.
Matt Yglesias has a nice comment section. I wonder why someone who thinks things are so great over there and horrible over here would be spending so much time over here.
You promised over the weekend that you wouldn't waste another syllable on WinSmith, and I for one, hoped you'd stick to it. Come on man!
the only thing missing is lol,lol,lol.

The jackass in question has been banned, but for some reason Salon seems incapable of enforcing it.
Mr. Greenwald's commentary on Palestine/Israel is, as usual, insightful and thought-provoking. America shares responsibility not only for this latest atrocity against the Palestinians, but for Israel's 60-year effort to deny the existence of, and to destroy, the Palestinians as a nation. Without America's military, financial and diplomatic assistance, Israel would have never been in the position to do what it has done. I'll never understand how America became convinced that European and American Jews have a right to Palestine that is superior to the rights of that land's natives -- the Palestinians (I include Palestinian Christians, Muslims and Jews in the latter group). And, further, that those foreign Jews have the right to subjugate, terrorize, and destroy the Palestinians. It's even more preposterous because Israel's founding and existence was in large part justified in terms of the Jews' experience at the hands of the Nazis. In trying to solve the conflict, America and the rest of the world need to think about nation-building in Israel as well as Palestine. If we've learned anything at all, it is that Israel cannot remain a country whose identity is based in the sick ideology (the supposed superiority of one religion/ethnicity over another and the denial of the existence of Palestinians as a people) on which it was founded in 1948. Allowing Israel to continue unchanged in identity and ideology will only result in Israel's continued unspeakable actions and Palestinian reprisals. Coexistence in peace must be the ultimate goal for everyone.
