Odai Al Zoubi Many leftist and liberal westerns find it easier to sympathize with Gaza than with Syria. For them, the importance of the victim comes from the criminal. If you are Palestinian, and you are killed by Assad, it is fine. If you are killed by Israel, this is outrageous. This kind of hypocrisy must stop. Assad, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein , and all the Israeli leaders are war criminals. We, Arabs and Muslims, might start to respect those who pretend to sympathise with us, when we know they dont discriminate between the victims. As long as those hippies only condemn Israel and the states, and refuse to condemn Iran, Russia, Assad and Saddam Hussein, they will stay in the same position as their opponent, the conservatives who only condemn Iran, Russia, Assad and Saddam, and ignore the crimes of Israel. I dont find any difference between these two racist attitudes in the West. For us, things are simple: All victims are victims. All criminals are criminals. In all the cases the story is the same: distribution of power and money, and oppressing the poor and the more vulnerable creatures. Our sympathy is with those who are oppressed, regardless of who oppress them.
