Almost every time we criticize israel or try to show the world the israeli war crimes, some people throw us with "off the shelf" accusations: "hate speech", "anti semitic", "propaganda" , "promoting violence" and "supporting terrorism" and some new expressions like warmongers..
I want peace, but I believe that the corner stone for peace is Justice. Martin Luther King said it before: ""True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice."
I live in South Lebanon, and I have witnessed a series of Israeli war crimes, some were 100-500 meters away from my house. I saw children in pieces, literally, children that I know their names and I used to meet them and their parents every now and then. So, when I go to forums or publish a post describing or protesting against these Israeli war crimes, I am not spreading any hate, I just want justice for these children and their families and I want to stop this from happening to other families. Now, if you hate israel for committing such crimes, well, that is only normal.
I dont write to spread any propaganda, I just write what I know and what I feel and what I saw and see. They call it propaganda, maybe because they are used to spread propaganda and because the truth is too much for them to handle.
We believe in people and nations right of self defense. But, Israel cant occupy lands, destroy houses, detain 11000 prisoners among them children and women, put 1.5 million in Gaza under siege, and then claim it is self defense. I don't think an occupation can claim any right of self defense.
220 child killed in Gaza, if we say that, are we promoting a hate speech? Well, they have killed, massacred 220 child! What are we supposed to say?!
STOP THE ISRAELI WAR CRIMES.!
