Sherri, you wrote:

"And the allegations that a Thai worker killed the Fogels has never been investigated, all we see that has happened is a Kangaroo court falsely convict some Palestinian boys for the crimes , in unlawful proceedings, that violated the Fourth Geneva Convention."  

Thank you for providing an example of a pro-Palestinian supporter who has the-Palestinians-can-do-no-wrong attitude.

Habesor,

What I am is a human being who objects to the human rights abuses of the Occupation.

And all detention practices against Palestinians are unlawful and have no credibility whatsoever.

It has nothing to with an attitude Palestinians can do no wrong, it is all about illegality and injustices.

So Miraj,

When VRA said that you have never been seen on this forum being critical of any of the actions of Hamas  et al, you confirm VRA's observation to be a correct.

There are two more questions which should be asked:

Have you ever made statements on this forum critical of the PA or the PLO?

After being critical of supporters of Israel whose posts on this forum, you allege, contain no criticism of Israel, is it your practice to submit posts here with no criticism of the Palestinians?

Habesor

Thank you for making that observation and posting it, because to consistantly condemn one group while ignoring the opposing group tells us that this person has no intention of even attempting to be objective.  Not only does their bias show through like gangbusters, they essentially kill their own positions because it becomes clear they have no intention of being objective and rational.  Instead, all we see are streams of myopic hatred used to demonize an entire people.

So your answer to the question is "no I never criticize the PA, or any other Palestinian "representative" organization, however the one thing which prevents "objectivity" is the failure of pro-Israel posters to sufficiently criticize Israel ( I added the sufficiently since I am unaware of any of the pro-Israel posters never criticizing Israel or any Israeli actions or Israeli political or public figures).

To get back to the actual topic, do you have any comment whatsoever of the policies of the PA which have had the effect of encouraging Arab Palestinian Christians to leave PA controlled areas? Do you have any criticism of anyone over the use of Christian Churches and holy sites (such as the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem) by the PA and or any other "representative" Palestinians group or members thereof as sanctuary or as cover for military operations? If you do not, why not?

Please let us know.

Again, Sherri, as long as one is only using certain sources that quite clearly have a specific perspective, you're only gonna get one side of the picture. If you have a Google account, you can get daily Middle Eastern news feeds from Reuters, A.P., BBC, and CNN for no cost, and it's very easy to set up.

This is something I'm curious about.  This topic is about a report about what Israel does that is driving Christians out.  Yet, not one "pro-Israel" poster has stayed on point.  Instead, each has attempted to shift the blame for the exodus of Christians on Muslims.  No one can be simply critical of Israel's actions.

Is the the kind of objectivity I'm supposed to emulate?
