No reports yet of a Muslimgauze sleeve stating "Kill all jews" or "Kill all
Israelis"
What is clear is that he supports the fight of the Palestine people for freedom.
I'll let the man speak for himself:
From the inlaycard of "Maroon"
"Muslimgauze will never condemn any act of direct action, the PLO or Hamas
feels is necessary to free all occupied territories.
Living in a democracy and able to vote, you cannot judge those unable to do so.
When you cannot alter a situation by the vote, an occupation has to be ended by
any means those being killed in their own land, feels necessary. Imagine you are
a Palestinian, marooned in Gaza, a prisoner in your own land, no vote, a future
? Israel feeding and drinking of your land, what is your answer ?
Muslimgauze, 1994"
Basically, what Mr Jones is saying is: Who are you to judge a people under
occupation ? He has a point.
Only *I* condemn all violence. From *either* side. Israelis as well as
Palestinians should live in freedom and peace.
MHO,
Allert
