Mideast Conflict Rules
Here are the rules that everyone should be aware of when watching the news coverage of any middle east conflict. If you know these rules, everything becomes simple:
Rules number 1: In the middle east it is allways Arabs who attack first, and it is always Israel who defends itself.
Rule number 2: Arabes, Palestiniens or Libanese dont have the right to kill civilians. This is called terrorism.
Rule number 3: Israel has the right to kill arab civilians. This is called legitimate self defense.
Rule number 4: When Isreal kills lots of civilans, Western countries call for israel to be cautious and apply restraint in using force. This is called the reaction of the international community
Rule number 5: The Palestinians and Libanese dont have the right to
capture israelien soldiers even if it is a simgle soldier.
Rule number 6: The israelis have the right to kidnap any number of
Palestiniens they want (around 12,000 prisonners to this day).
There is no limit on the number they can capture, and no charges have to be pressed. You just have to claim they are terrorists.
Rule number 7: When you say the word Resistance, make sure you follow it by "with the suport of syria and iran"
Rule number 8: When you say Israel, you should never mention the unconditional support of the US, France or Europe, this may reflect an unbalanced conflict.
Rule number 9: Never talk about occupied territoriesnor UN resolutions nor violation of international law, and geneva conventions. This may raise questions in the mind of viewers.
Rule number 10: Israelis are more educated than arabs, they speak better and therefore they get more airtime. In addition, they can explain rules 1-9 to us. This is called being neutral.
Rule number 11: If you do not agree with these rules or think they favor one party vs the other in this conflict, then you should come to the conclusion that you are a dangerous antisemite.
