Palestinians returning home find Israeli troops left faeces and venomous graffiti

[JackRiddler]

12. What a sad and odious dodge.

You expect us to believe an outfit that uses unmitigated hate speech in justifying the murder of children playing ball on a beach and the bombing of UN flight centers cares too much for public image to produce such mean graffiti? Tell me, did the family in the story also destroy their own house and throw their own computers out the windows?

This behavior fits the conduct of the Israeli offensive in Gaza and the extreme anti-Arab and anti-Muslim public discourse that has justified it, some of which we have seen on DU.

Not every Israeli speaks Arabic and not every Palestinian reads Hebrew, but English is a language that will send the message to the recipients. Here is a famous pictures of Israeli children encouraged to write hate messages in English, in much the same spirit as the IDF showed in Gaza, back during the assault on Lebanon.
