Bottom line.

As a Canadian, with my own country's blemishes being investigated, owned and atoned, I have been raised for the most part to detect and detest bullies.

All other excuses, which you provide, attempt to exonerate the actions, both historical and continuing, of a violent bullying nation both within their own state of Israel, and without, especially in those adjacent territories, Gaza and The West Bank.

Israel is extremely violent and deadly when it perceives a threat to their expansionist agenda.

This includes of course rock throwing children and journalists.

They are also not above using assassination in other countries, which BTW, is also recognized as being against International law.

Bullies can find all kinds of petulant reasons for their behaviour.

Israel is no different.

They often hide behind the Holocaust and other racist actions...which is ironic given that the IDF and Mossad are using the very same Fascist tactics so universally detested by themselves... and many people like this humble Canadian.
