White House calls images of Israeli police attacking funeral of slain Palestinian journalist 'deeply

[Beastly Boy]

8. Now you are putting words in my mouth

No, I am not saying that waving a flag at a funeral should be met with excessive force. I am saying that flag waivers made a deliberate choice to disrupt the funeral.

No, I am not saying that a peaceful protest at a funeral should be met with excessive force. I am saying that a protest at this particular funeral had consequences which were disrespectful and disruptive to the purpose of the funeral.

No, I am not justifying the use of excessive force on people who are unarmed. In fact, I condemned it as being, and I quote, "crude and excessive".

No, I didn't call waving a flag "extremist". I called the people who disrupted the funeral extremist.

It's all there, in my post, in plain English, and I resent any attempts to be held responsible for what I never said. You can be sick and tired all you want, but being sick and tired doesn't give you the right to misrepresent what I posted.

And hell yeah, not only do I believe that it is possible to be pro-Palestine and not be "an extremist", I am convinced of it. This is why I clearly made a distinction between the Palestinians who came to the funeral to mourn and the Palestinians who came to the funeral to disrupt it.

Just set aside your preconceived notions for a minute and read the damn post!
