Mccoy I have difficulty following your last post . What thread are you looking for here? I understand your question but hope you recognize that unlike you i explicitly told you what thread I wanted to find when it pertained to your views. From what I ascertained, you did not describe what you are referring to here. I also am somewhat confused by your statement that perhaps some one didn’t read the news. Did someone else not read all the information we have provided here about the forced occupation and settlements in Gaza and Palestine by Israel that were also a historical fact? How is that included in your analysis of the so called facts and rendition of history (‘that someone chose to deliberately ignore’).

Uwe, I couldn't find the other thread, so my comments here.
Mr. Turk, lawyer in human rights for more than three decades.....
I can understand his anguish but, really, my analytical mind cannot but classify him as politically very biased or personally extremely naive.
He seems to ignore (or deliberately chose to ignore?) many aspects like Hamas making shields of Palestinian children, The western society providing billions of dollars of humanitarian aids, derouted by Hamas to build up weapons and dig tunnels.
He compares the present military operation in Gaza to the genocide of the Tutsi, but if there is an attempted genocide here it is Hamas who is trying to do its best, emulating Hitler's ambitions.
He harshly criticizes the Israeli retaliation, calling it an attack, totally ignoring what caused this attack, maybe he didn't watch the news on the 7th of October?
My analytical self has decided that Mr. Turk should go back to the 1st grade and study history, regardless of his being a lawyer. I have decided that Mr. turk constitutes a weird, maybe grotesque character in the cosmic film.
Am I analyzing too much? Maybe. Perhaps I should relax and eat more popcorn. Or better peanuts and Almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts and so on...
