中東和平と北アイルランド和平――Ali Abunimahのtweetsから
@waqaasf they can be and often are. But definition of "combatant" depends on what u are doing.
2010-09-01 09:55:25There's "pro Palestinian" orgs that condemn attacks on settlers with vehemence they never have for attacks by settlers/army on Palestinians
2010-09-01 09:59:56In a colonial situation the outcry for the death of a settler is always exponentially greater than for the death of native.
2010-09-01 10:03:23Ludicrous Mubarak oped claims refugees, borders, Jerusalem already "resolved" and main barrier left "psychological" http://nyti.ms/cTekhy
2010-09-01 20:51:15up too early. About to go on @democracynow then head to SEATAC.
2010-09-01 21:35:06Yes, Mr. Harris, but IRA did seek "destruction" of Northern Ireland. In this case Israel=NI, US=Britain http://nyti.ms/aiqFaN
2010-09-01 21:38:58N Ireland was set up as a settler-statelet dependent on UK support just as Israel is a settler-statelet dependent on US support.
2010-09-01 21:39:53IRA did not "forswear violence" to enter peace process nor give up weapons. It did declare a ceasefire however.
2010-09-01 21:40:47I've read many spurious "refutations" of key parallels with N Ireland, latest being from American Jewish Committee http://j.mp/aiqFaN
2010-09-01 21:41:59IRA declared 1st ceasefire on 31 Aug 1994 and ended it on 9 Feb 1996, with large bomb in London that killed 2. Ceasefire resumed 20 Jul 97
2010-09-01 21:48:58Thanks to @shunradan, @denashunra, Herself (an excellent educator), @olympiaBDS for making me feel so welcome in WA.
2010-09-01 22:21:16Indeed. It was never required to. “@hughgreen: Also it [Sinn Fein & IRA] has never recognised Northern Ireland's 'right to exist'.”
2010-09-01 22:36:01Belfast Agreement allows for dissolution ("destruction") of N Ireland if that's what the people there decide.
2010-09-01 22:37:20Pending any change in status N Irleland is required to be state of all its citizens instead of a "Protestant state for a Protestant people"
2010-09-01 22:39:38@EliLake Or they could live as Jewish citizens in a state of all its citizens. You know, just like Jews do in the US.
2010-09-01 22:47:40@EliLake Wasn't aware Jews can live only in just-for-them state. Nor are majority of world's Jews who don't live in Israel aware of it.
2010-09-01 22:48:51@EliLake And I'm not aware that any Protestants had to leave N Ireland just because they lost their monopoly on power.
2010-09-01 22:50:44Since start of 2008, 60 Israeli Jews and more than 2000 Palestinians have been killed in conflict-related violence.

2010-09-01 23:04:07"Security for everyone, not just settlers and occupiers" - Ali Abunimah @avinunu on opening of mideast peace talks http://bit.ly/cjDP1a
2010-09-01 23:07:45Look out for me on today's @democracynow - last 10 minutes of show talking about "peace talks" and violence in Palestine.
