Neither is child abuse
but I've seen plenty of jokes about it and not taken issue.

I have taken issue.
I think it is important to laugh and also important to remember.
This compo had taken a turn for the 'laugh at the poor Palestinians, fuck 'em' and I think it needed mentioning.

Fair enough.
As is often the case I suppose the line is between concept and
individual real event. One death is a tragedy and all that.

I haven't seen a
shift toward the 'laugh at Palestinians', and from what you are saying I take it you are anti-Zionist or are you more anti-Semitic?

Neither.
That said, in this particular conflict I feel that Israel is the guiltier party.

Actually, I am a little pissed off that you feel that it is okay for you to accuse me of racism
simply because I did not want a UN aid worker to be needlessly killed.

Perhaps you need to re-read your own post?
"I take it you are anti-Zionist or are you more anti-Semitic?"

surely
you can be anti-Zionist without being anti-semitic.
The 'more' wasn't to suggests you were partially anti-semitic.
accept my apologies, I honestly didn't mean to offend you.

I am not particularly anti-Zionist either.
I mean, I think that it was wrong for the Cypriot Jews to move so in such a wholesale fashion into Palestine and I do not think that stealing land and giving it to others is good, but I also do not believe that the current situation should reflect the past. The situation exists that both Israel and Palestine have to co-exist in that part of the world.
What I am opposed to is the fashion in which Israel is behaving, the slaughter and lack of respect they show, the random acts of violence and the constant extending of walls.
I also hate the fact that it is treated as acceptable so often.
It is time that Israel was stopped from making proactive war.

such as AIDS, racism, the twin towers, the disabled, ugly people etc.

You will often see me abusing racists as well.
I am not against jokes, but they need to be jokes, not just 'niggers!' or 'dead people!'

I see, that makes sense enough
I haven't seen most of the compo entries so far, but the ones I have seen have been alright. Perhaps there's a minority bringing down the popularity of the majority, as is often the case with a great many things.
