In reply to the discussion: Palestinian attacks kill American tourist, wound 12 Israelis [View all]sulphurdunn
(6,891 posts)85. Your first comment to me was post #44.
You begin by parroting the hasbara that casts Israel as an innocent victim of irrational Palestinian anti-Semitism and blames them for everything that has happened to them since 1947, and for not accepting their inferior status in the Jewish State and its occupied territories. That is the definition of moral relativism. In an attempt to avoid that, you have seized upon the death of one unfortunate American who was caught in the crossfire and raised it to the status of martyrdom, while dismissing the deaths of thousands of Palestinians as just desserts for their hatred of Jews. Have you ever heard of Rachel Corrie? She was another American martyr.
