I didn't say anything of the sort.
I was however attacking very specifically your inferred comment about how Palestinians would not show care to Israelis who were injured should the tables be turned. Such statements are both meaningless and also characteristic of how we look at Palestine. These people aren't inhuman. Because Hamas has all the moral integrity of the worst criminals of any nation doesn't mean that every Palestinian shares those feelings. And to suggest otherwise IS generalizing. It is common practise to paint the enemy as a whole with the brush of their worst characters. That simply isn't right. |
Perhaps I should have said Hamas instead of Palestinians. I do not take my comment back however I do feel I should have taken more care in wording it. Perhaps a one line comment can't describe what my intended meaning was. But I would doubt many of the middle eastern governments would freely give aid to Israel.
