Rules of Democracy!!!

Rule #1:
In the Middle East, it is always the Palestinians that attack first, and it's always Israel who defends itself. This is called "retaliation"
 
Rule #2:
The Palestinians are not allowed to kill Israelis.
This is called "terrorism"
 
Rule #3:
Israel has the right to kill Palestinian civilians; this is called "self-defense", or "collateral damage"
 
Rule #4:
When Israel kills too many Palestinian civilians, the Western world calls for restraint. This is called the "reaction of the 20 international community".
 
Rule #5:
Palestinians do not have the right to capture Israeli military, not even 1 or 2.
 
Rule #6 :
Israel has the right to capture as many Palestinians as they want (around 10,000 to date being held without trial). There is no limit; there is no need for proof of guilt or trial. All that is needed is the magic word: "terrorism".
 
Rule #7:
When you say "Hamas", always be sure to add "supported by Hezbo-Allah, Syria and Iran".
 
Rule #8:
When you say " Israel", never say "supported by the USA, the UK, European countries and even some Arab regimes", for people (God forbid) might believe this is not an equal conflict.
 
Rule #9:
When it comes to Israel, don't mention the words 20 "occupied territories", "UN resolutions", "Geneva conventions". This could distress the audience of Fox, CNN, etc.
 
Rule #10:
Israelis speak better English than Arabs. This is why we let them speak out as much as possible, so that they can explain rules 1 through 9.   This is called "neutral journalism".
 
Rule #11:
If you don't agree with these rules or if you favor the Palestinian side over the Israeli side, you must be a very dangerous anti-Semite. You may even have to make a public apology if you express your honest opinion.
 
   THIS IS CALLED:
   DEMOCRACY!!
 
 (Isn't democracy  wonderful?)
