CBS Host: Palestinians Force Israel to Kill Kids

But some opinions are perfectly acceptable. On his July 27 show, CBS Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer went on a rant about Palestinians:

In the Middle East, the Palestinian people find themselves in the grip of a terrorist group that has embarked on a strategy to get its own children killed in order to build sympathy for its cause, a strategy that might actually be working, at least in some quarters.

Last week, I found a quote of many years ago by Golda Meir, one of Israel's early leaders, which might have been said yesterday. "We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children," she said, "but we can never forgive them for forcing us to kill their children."...

To suggest that Hamas desires that Palestinian children be murdered is offensive and irresponsible in the extreme. It's the basic mistake of worldviews like antisemitism and Islamophobia: assuming that the people you hate lack basic human motives and instead are driven by their inhuman, alien perspective.

Derp.

1. They all know that no one forces them to kill Palestinian children

but it's the only cover for 'we're taking this land regardless of who is living there and we'll kill you to get it.
We wouldn't have to kill you if you just gave us your land.
'
It's a mindset. They believe their own propaganda.

2. Reminds me of General Westmoreland's comment "the Oriental doesn't put the same high price on life

as the Westerner."

With a scene of a Vietnamese funeral followed by General William Westmoreland's own words. I'm not surprised that Bob Schieffer would support Golda Meir considering with his views.

3. Coming from the same asshole who took out

Dan Rather. Just a shill for Summoner Redstone and the Bush Family. And this guy thinks he is a reporter. Cut the crap. Just a tool of AIPAC.

4. Hateful moron. n/t

5. Stupid Palestinains and their stupid internationally monitored election. Electing people from a

party Israel and other western powers hate. What are those people thinking? Just goes to show democracy isn't for everybody.

Who can blame Israel for killing all those civilians and children. The'd probably just vote for Hamas again if their ever stupid enough to hold another election.

Thank God we have journalists like Bob Schieffer who can lay it all out for us in plain english.
