Semma Qura'an How can you then ignore the true goal of Zionism, particularly the settler movement, of ethnic-cleansing historic Palestine of Palestinians (Arab Muslim and Christian) residents?
Semma Qura'an Fadi and I support a one-state solution where all individuals have human rights.
Semma Qura'an The idea of a "Two-State Solution" and "both sides doing a better job moving toward that ultimate goal" is absurd in practice. Israeli settlement has continued all over the West Bank for decades, relegating what could be a "State of Palestine" to Apartheid-like Bantustans.
Semma Qura'an Your condescending elitist “Tsk tsk” is typical of the Orientalist mindset. So quick to judge any action by a people resisting colonialism as unjust, without looking in the mirror and seeing that the root cause of the problem is the colonial project in the first place (i.e. Zionism).
Semma Qura'an When you could focus your criticism on the actual State of Israel that has occupied the Palestinian people for 40 years, dehumanizing, torturing, imprisoning, and denying basic human rights?
Semma Qura'an Why would you focus on the "State of Palestine" that the US and Israel will never allow to exist (which is a basic denial of self-determination - a right that Zionists seem to claim only exists for themselves)...
Semma Qura'an please do not embarrass yourself any further by speaking of a conflict about which you are not aware/educated. You are a racist.
Semma Qura'an "Fantasy that Jews are invading" is unfortunately not a fantasy -- it's reality. http://maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=462853
Semma Qura'an Stones don't kill people, Tear gas canisters do. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-12-13/palestinian-killed-by-tear-gas-canister/3727656
Semma Qura'an If you believe that my brother's release will be to promote "Israel's right to exist" then you are wrong and i do not hope for the release of any individual that fights for that ludicrous right. Educate yourself and do not spout normalized statements about issues you are obviously uneducated about.
Semma Qura'an and yes IOF not IDF it is not a Defense force, it is an Offensive force targeting civilians
Semma Qura'an @Yisrael Medad my brother does not help halt the rock throwing. He opts for another type of resistance aimed at the ISRAELI OCCUPATION. Get your facts straight. stones are not the equivalent of the tear gas, skunk, sound bombs, rubber and live bullets and illegally used pepper spray the IOF use
