You may remember the recent story of the Palestinian Arab terrorists brought in by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for training in International Humanitarian Law and First Aid. This story at the Ma'an News Agency about the program is really interesting for the black is white world it exposes -- a mirror-image land where terms don't mean what you think.
ICRC train resistance fighters in Gaza
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza has recently begun training Palestinian resistance fighters to respect international humanitarian law.
For the past few years various Palestinian resistance factions in Gaza have fired crude homemade rockets at nearby Israeli towns, killing about a dozen Israeli civilians and recently injuring 69 soldiers in one such attack. The rockets usually land in open spaces but cause panic amongst Israeli civilians.
Ostensibly to prevent the firing of rockets into Israel and more likely to pressure the Palestinian civilian population into tempering their support of the resistance, the Israeli army has extrajudicially executed resistance activists, repeatedly invaded certain areas of Gaza and razed homes and agricultural land to make "buffer" zones near the Gaza-Israel border...
...This year, more than 100 Palestinians, mostly resistance activists, have been killed [Good shootin'!] during Israeli army air strikes on and incursions into Gaza...
Etc... Laugh, but this is the world we're supposed to be respecting every time we're told we need to respect the Middle Eastern world view.
