If Canada launched rockets into the U.S.

[SUPERSY8]

Hoping to depart from analogies that steamroll all nuance…
Wishing to kill the spirit of comparisons that ignore imbalances of power…
If Mexicans settled the US en masse, and then established a state of their own on American soil, with the blessing of the Latin American Alliance, do you think Americans would just sit there and take it?
If Canada went to war against the US, and then concentrated refugees from that war in a closed-off space the size of Detroit, do you think Americans would just sit there and take it?
If Cubans invaded the US, then prevented all Americans who fled the violence from returning to their homes while also confiscating their property, do you think Americans would just sit there and take it?
If Americans, struggling for their own independence from Great Britain, sent inefficient missiles into Wales, killing a handful of citizens, and then were slaughtered at a rate of 100 to 1, do you think Americans would just sit there and take it?
If Cuba occupied the US after a crushing military victory, then ignored its responsibilities as an occupier, progressively settling the US while pretending that it would one day permit an American state, do you think Americans would just sit there and take it?
If Haiti received 3 billion dollars a year in military aid, and used the full force of its military might and advanced weaponry against an impoverished and largely defenseless American population, do you think Americans would just sit there and take it?
If Canadians deprived Americans of their freedom, do you think Americans would just sit there and take it?

Not the Americans I know.

Congratulations! You just managed in one post to turn both history and logic on its ear.

Call me amoral Scott, that's fine. Tell me what you would call one of your own that's far more educated than the both of us.

You started a thread reversing the history of that region. Now you want to change the subject [of course]. He is free to speak his mind and to be wrong. The Guardian has never given Israel a fair shake. So if you look hard enough you can always find a Jew to denounce Israeli action. But most Israelis and moral people would disagree with him.

So it appears, do moral people in Canada:
Canada a Voice of Integrity at UN - Rosie DiManno
Canada is to be commended for voting against a foolishly biased indictment of Israel at the UN Human Rights Council. A lone voice of integrity, Canada voted against the motion on Monday while 13 nations, mostly from Europe, abstained. Thirty-three countries voted in favor, including such human rights stalwarts as Cuba, Russia, China and Saudi Arabia. The U.S. has wisely refused membership in this disreputable cabal. Canada has hung in, purportedly to try to inject some level-headedness into the council's chronic looniness.
The motion blames Israel entirely for the crisis. There is no mention of Hamas and other Palestinian groups using civilians as shields or lobbing rockets into Israel. It vilifies Israel for the "collective punishment" of Palestinians but says not a word about Hamas leaders urging the blood of Jewish children be spilled everywhere. (Toronto Star)

Now I see you've read the Guardian today. How about some equal time? Since you seem to be so obsessed with this issue as to open ANOTHER thread, why not spend some time learning the truth? Here is a great place for you to start your quest:
