kd's sneaky, underhanded way of trying to keep the lie alive, having nothing significant to contribute to the topic of the thread other than some misguided blather about equal culpability between the Zionists colonizers and their victims.
The delusion of equal culpability is difficult to maintain if one simply studies the realities of life in Occupied Palestine. Leaving aside the serious clashes on the northern border yesterday, here are some of the incidents in the West Bank that were not reported in the Western media:
* Israeli forces on Sunday detained a 10 year old Palestinian boy and his uncle in the al-Tur neighborhood of East Jerusalem, leading to clashes in the area;
* A Palestinian youth was shot and injured Saturday by live Israeli settler fire to the south of Bethlehem, while other settlers attacked passing Palestinian vehicles with rocks, to the west, according to local and security sources;
* Israeli forces shot with a rubber-coated [steel] bullet a young Palestinian man while he was walking out of his house in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Tur on Saturday evening;
* Medical sources in Hebron, in the southern part of the West Bank, have reported that Israeli [settler/colonist] fanatics attacked, beat and stabbed a Palestinian man, from Doura nearby town;
* A Druze IDF soldier who was beaten by Jews in Jerusalem called on Israelis to forward a Facebook post on Sunday preaching a message of peace and tolerance, mere days after his attack;
* Local sources in Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied West Bank, have reported that Israeli soldiers invaded the city and Beit Ummar nearby town, and kidnapped five Palestinians; Many Palestinians injured. Soldiers also invaded Bethlehem and detained Palestinians near Jenin;
* The Housing and Construction Ministry allocated 850,000 shekels ($215,000) for the expansion of the settlement of Efrat in the West Bank last October, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu having reversed the decision to build on the site;
* The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) pushed a Palestinian citizen to knock down a farm of his own in the southern West Bank city of al-Khalil [Hebron];
* A group of Israeli settlers on Sunday chopped down dozens of olive trees belonging to an elderly Palestinian man in the village of Sisiya [Susiya?] south of Hebron;

I stress that these incidents are just some, far from all, that occurred. This is a snapshot of Israeli ethnic cleansing at the coalface, as it were, with both settlers/colonists and the IDF participating in actions designed to force Palestinians off their land or out of their houses driving them out of their ancestral homelands. It was in many respects this is just a typical day, meaning that incidents such as the above occur on a daily basis in the West Bank, day in day out day after day week after week month after month year after year.
It is churlish to claim that both sides are equally culpable when it comes to apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Clearly one side - the side enforcing ethnic cleansing and apartheid - has far more responsibility for the violence, for the dead and injured, for the homeless and homes destroyed. This claim is a claim of last resort by Zionist sympathisers, unable to dispute the mountains of evidence detailing Israeli ethnic cleansing and apartheid and being too dishonest to acknowledge their overwhelming culpability, try to somehow retrieve some PR gain from the situation by blame-shifting.
Only one side is engaged in ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Only one side has carried out ethnic cleansing since the mid-1940s and has carried it out non-stop ever since. Zionists must carry the overwhelming culpability for the current situation. There is nothing preventing a full Israeli withdrawal to Israel's internationally recognised borders except Zionist belligerence, land lust and intransigence.
