For those who think I single out Israel for criticism...
...some equal time for another wholesale butcher of civilians:
A human rights group says foreign troops stationed in Afghanistan are responsible for more than a quarter of the civilian deaths in 2008.I hasten to add that, just as in Gaza, all the deaths are unacceptable crimes, not just those of "civilians," because they are all the result of occupations. The occupied have a right to resist by any means necessary, and the occupiers have no rights whatsoever.
The Kabul-based Afghanistan Rights Monitor (ARM) said Wednesday that out of a total of 4,000 civilians killed in the conflict last year, 1,100 were killed by US and NATO troops or operations.
