The Palestinian Papers

[noxibox]

last time I checked so was shooting missiles at cities, killing tourists, shooting pregnant woman, blowing up buses, restaurants, night clubs and so on and so on.

You're right, the Israelis are also guilty of most of those things. But they're doing it for security and because Palestinian leaders live amongst the general population while the brave Israeli leaders all stand at the frontline, so they're justified.

No it isn't. One is an official policy of denying access to a particular group and another is just some dude waiting for his application to be processed. It isn't the same thing at all.

It's border/immigration control, it's the same thing.

Which has no effect on the nature of what is occurring and the validity of the criticism and so is ultimately meaningless.

How can you criticize without comparison? It's like a privileged planet argument.

Which he doesn't need to do. Neither did I. I just recognise a nasty law when I see one. I don't care which country implements it. It isn't double standards unless you actually say that other countries implementing the same law are not being as bad as Israel. What I'm saying is to have a case of double standards he actually has to apply that 'standard' to some other entity in a different way. Considering he applied it to NO OTHER ENTITY there can be no double standard. After all remember the word "double" indicates that there needs to be more than one... it really isn't that hard complicated a concept to grasp.

You "just recognise"? so really it's just your opinion without any context.

That's not hard to grasp.

Anyway I'll ask this again:

Here's a scenario:

If India declares war on South Africa.

South Africa bars it's borders to holders of Indian passports, including spouses of SA citizens.

They do not however alter the status of South Africans of Indian descent in any way.

Is the border control law ethnic based because they are barring Indians, or is it nationality based?
