Two rockets were just fired into Tel Aviv from Gaza. Imagine if two rockets were fired at the U.S. by any country. There would be an all-out Military counter-attack. Rightfully so. Israel experiences hundreds of Rocket attacks every WEEK. Why the double standard?

Imagine if an Arab gunman entered an American school and killed 17 people. And it continued to happen every. single. day. You’re right, one would expect we’d go to war with someone over it. Why the double standard with white American domestic terrorists? Why is there no action?

i wouldn’t cite VOX as a reliable source, especially given that no other media outlet concurs with this.https://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2019/feb/11/alcee-hastings/was-there-one-school-shooting-week-2018-florida-la/ …

I believe you were talking about school shootings in particular. This is a register of all reported gun crimes. Vastly, and I repeat, VASTLY, different.

That was my point. Kyle's frothing followers seemed to have missed that. I referenced that knowing Kyle could speak from experience. The policy changes towards stopping mass shootings are minimal. If it were an Arab person who did the shooting, everyone would call it terrorism.

Rings true for industries responsible for dumping shit into our water (a notable one https://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/11/us/west-virginia-chemical-spill.html …). Corps can claim bankruptcy & no one gets charged. You telling me someone from the Middle East wouldn't be called a terrorist for doing the same thing? Double standard
