So what? An Australian activist was arrested (second time) when trying to penetrate the Israeli naval blockade of Gaza. Maybe he should have steered his boat towards the port suggested by Israel to allow for safe delivery of the aid supplies.
Yes, editorial commentary is called "Free Speech", and is protected by law. I personnaly think that if someone want s live and work here in th eUS, then let them do it, legitimately. The problem is that a good number of these folks do not want to do it legitimately. The whys of that are another discussion, but one well commented on by the editorial commentary. Free Speech.
Yes, when you step in to the road where the vehicle has right of way, you are wrong. So in Tehran, as I recall, it is also ok for vehilce to run over protestors, especially when it is a government one...
Also, the US is not "gripped" in protest because of "occupy wall street". And if the "violent crack down" has not been effective, it is because it does not really exist. The protestors are remaining where they are as they have nothing more useful to do than chant that they need more free stuff from the government.
And yes, Israel attacks palestinians, just like palestinians attack Israel. Although, given the demonstrated capability of the Israeli military, I would say the Israelis are acting with great restraint compared to what they could do. Let's say for instance, some irrational folks in Iraq make a cross border attack into Iran with homemade rockets and hit a school, kill some children. Or, maybe instead they send a suicide bomber to board a public bus, and blow it up. What would Iran think to do about it?
Lion,
It is clear that you are young, and also have no real depth or understanding of the real world. It also appears that you have not travelled to see much if any of it for yourself. I hope that you actually read and think about the links and comments you see here. Learn to be objective and independant in your opinions. Do not soak up those of others as your own. Make real choices as to what you base yours on.
My country, as all others, makes many mistakes. The difference is that in my country, we can all put it on the table and talk it out for an answer. In your country it appears that this is not allowed.
As someone posted earlier, are you afraid to put on a green scarf and walk in the street when your police drive by? Are you afraid to post your opinion against something your government does on a large piece of cardboard and walk down the street with it to show others?
