Comment on Now it will be possible to look into Khader Adnan’s eyes as Israel’s apartheid wall falls by Sam Holloway

Hasbara never sleeps. Watch this mouthpiece slide easily from lying about Khader Adnan to lying about Iran: http://bcove.me/br17dyrg

1) Will you condemn IJ?
2) Will you condemn Hamas?
3) Will you condemn Hezbollah?

Simple questions, yes, but completely meaningless. The ‘terrorist’ groups are not being held, nor are they being accused en masse. If Israel is the advanced democracy that it claims to be, then it must at the very least adhere to basic principles of justice. You can’t punish entire groups for the acts of individuals, and you can’t punish an individual for the acts of groups. You must address the individual for his own deeds, and nothing more. If his association with a group is somehow related to his crimes, then it stands to reason that it can be called in as evidence of motivation. But regarding his association as the crime is not just or even logical.

Still, I’ll close by answering the meaningless questions. I’ll condemn Islamic Jihad and Hamas if they carry out so much as one violent act AFTER the illegal Israeli occupation of their land is ended. I’ll condemn Hezbollah if it carries out so much as one violent act AFTER Israel pays reparations for its various assaults and occupations of Lebanon and shows a marked to determination to be a peaceful and constructive neighbor henceforth.

The only allegation that exists is that he is part of IJ. Israel has yet to come up with evidence that he leads the group or that he committed anything opposite of the law. As a matter of fact, Israel has yet to come up with any evidence at all. Human rights agencies around the world are demanding his release and/or calling for a trial.

As the leader of IJ, he bears significant responsibility for the group. While I do not know the specific crimes that Israel has against him, I do know that IJ is a terrorist group, and that there is a wealth of conclusive evidence against them and documented terrorism committed in the name of the group. While it may not be a crime to be a member of the KKK, I would assume and hope that it is a crime to be the leader of the KKK and encourage or order a lynching or crime of any sort, even if one is not personally involved with the perpetuation of this said-crime.

Before we go on Sami, I have a few questions for you.

1) Will you condemn IJ?
2) Will you condemn Hamas?
3) Will you condemn Hezbollah?

Simple, ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions.

So, I’m going to play it easy on you. What’s his crime? What has he been charged with?

It’s not against the law to be part of Islamic Jihad just like it isn’t a crime to be a part of the Ku Klux Klan, for example. It is a crime, however, to break the law. Is there conclusive evidence that says Adnan is part of IJ anyways? And if he was (keep in mind, as I’m sure you know, it’s still an allegation), is there any proof that he did anything illegal? If so, why hasn’t he been charged yet?

Logic, Jacob. Logic.

Khader Adnan is a leader of a recognized terrorist group operating out of the West Bank, one that calls for the destruction of Israel and has perpetuated terror on the Jewish state since the organization’s founding. I hardly think classifying his only “crime” as growing a beard and being Palestinian to be legitimate.

“So in other words, you don’t believe in free speech. You proud of yourself?”

No one prevented the occupation soldier from completing his shtick. So in other words, you don’t understand what freedom of speech is. You proud of yourself?
