Israel & Palestine

You support Israel because you agree with their MP's view that mother of all Palestinians should be killed because they bear little snakes and not children.


You support Israel because you agree that Hospitals, Schools, Disability centers should be bombarded in your fight against terrorism.

You support Israel because you think compulsory military training is beneficial for the people, even though many Israeli youth themselves don't want it, and come to India to seek spiritual refuge in mountains to do away with the trauma of militarization.

You support Israel because you support nationalism on religious grounds, even if the nation has to come up by force on somebody else's land.

You support Israel because You are growing into a person who will enjoy the lights of the bombing by sitting watching it from a safe distance with popcorn and coffee in hand.

You support Israel because it is a powerful country and can offer military help, sophisticated technology, radars , missiles while Palestine is a wretched country with no benefits. 

You support Israel because you have always supported the Lion in a fight between the Lion and the Rabbit. 

You support Israel because for you, your own military and economic stakes matter more than Humanitarian stakes of others. 

And if you don not support Israel but not saying anything against their atrocities, you are with them just as Desmond tutu puts it. 

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

-Desmond Tutu
