Movement in Palestine
by Achmad Munjid
Since I was a small child, I have been taught that the powerless party always deserves “affirmative action” in any unbalanced conflict before a true resolution can be settled. As a Muslim who now lives in the West, I keep trying very hard to understand why so many in the mainstream West assume that the much more powerful Israel is the “good guy”, while the less powerful Palestinian is the “bad guy” in the Palestinian crisis.
Is it compensation by the West for their “guilty feeling” over the Holocaust? Is it more about the power of Jewish money? Is it related to skin-colour? How are we to understand that 200 “home-made” rockets sent by Hamas to Israel during the first week of the crisis deserve more attention, as a proof of terrorism, than over 700 lives, mostly Palestinian civilians, taken by sophisticated Israeli weapons in the same week?
