Neighbours From Hell

A bunch of statements made in reference to the current "phase" of Israel vs Palestine:
(names have been removed to protect the innocent and the guilty).

  • They fired first.
  • They want to wipe us out, they will not be satisfied until we are gone.
  • There were weapons in the school, one was fired at us.
  • It’s election time and I am seriously behind in the polls. Time to start bombing. (unconfirmed).
  • We have no information to suggest that what has been reported, actually happened.
  • You have no idea what it is like to have rockets fired at your home everyday.
  • We live in an open air prison.
  • It’s a terrorist state.
  • We will never recognise them.
  • Please show restraint.
  • We are fighting a just war, perhaps the most just war there is.
  • It is too complicated, you don’t understand.
  • It is part of the War On Terror, it is for your benefit.
  • My family used to live there.
  • God is Great.
And so it goes..

A bunch of songs that say a lot more:

Tom Waits - Road to Peace
Dj Shadow - Six Days
Vox Dei- Terroriste
Tuxedomoon - Holy Wars
