The zionists only think they have the right to defend themselves. Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran don't have the right to defend themselves from the attacks of Israel.
Fug 'em both.
Lebensraum
Fuck Russia, fuck Israel, fuck the United States, fuck China.
That is how get all the STIs.
State transmitted Imperialism.

Now let's play the game : does the poster mean both should be legitimate, or both condemned ?
That doesn't seem to be the message. Instead, it's that the NYT (along with the rest of mainstream/establishment media) self-censures criticism of Israel, by using more neutral terms.
Hopefully the latter.
Suppose I say "if you're ok with X then you should be ok with Y, because X and Y are equivalent" and "if you're not ok with X then you should not be ok with Y because X and Y are equivalent". Do I mean I'm ok with X or not?
If it weren't for double standards we wouldn't have any standards at all.

We are back in a period of great power actors. I should brush up on my Thucydides.
We haven't been out of that period for 200 years. The current set of actors are just more clumsy and less elegant.
The US seems to want to emulate 1800s Britain I guess.
Let's hope the Luddites are more successful this time.
