Enes Kanter on Twitter: How concerned are we?

[Tarkanian]

I am all for Kanter's civil right to criticize Israel, if/when due & deserved.
Israel used cluster munitions in densely populated areas in 2006 and has killed about 200 individuals lately.
so critique seems OK to me

The funny thing is 200 years ago if a similar situation was happening it would just be genocide. Two groups are fighting over the same land. One group is a distinct military advantage. The strong group removes the weak group existence. No more land dispute. In modern society the land fights become this weird psuedo-war/cold war.

To me it appears neither side (Israel or Palenstine) has the moral high ground. I believe both sides are claiming the moral high ground as a part of the propoganda. I wonder when all this tension boils over and the next world war starts.

Also on the cluster bomb thing, I don't know if it is true. But look back in time to World War II and look up all the bombing done then. Especially the incendiary bombs.

New nickname for Kanter: Sleeper Cell (god I hope this sticks)

He can have any opinion he wants on the middle east, or any other political issue/conflict, for all I care. H isn't preaching hate and he is still playing ball.

Criticism on military ops by IDF is not anti-semitism.
I feel obliged to reiterate that I hate and despise anti-semitists and racists.
Arabs have a huge number of "the kind" I have to add.
Israel as a free state has every right to exist
..but..
Israel should respect international law and go back to its pre-1967 borders.
Israel should not support and build up on its own settlements policies.
Israel should really stop killing civilians and start showing some care.

Besides, they really don't need this wrong way of warfare, for they enjoy a huge military asymmetry in their favor.

Meh, I liked it better when he posted from Hef's mansion
