The desperate desperation argument
Shark Blog:
"Some will always claim that the Palestinian terrorists who murder Israeli civilians are simply displaying the natural response to 'desperation' caused by the 'occupation of Palestinian land' or something along those lines.
"A suicide bombing in Iraq today killed several dozen people, most of them Iraqi civilians. As far as I can tell none of these Iraqi civilians are responsible for occupying anybody else's land or causing anybody else to become desperate; and neither were any of the hundreds of other casualties of similar bombings in Iraq in the last several months.
"As I've said before, Arab terrorism has nothing to do with desperation, oppression or occupation. It's simply part of the language used in the Arab world to assert dominance in order to acquire political supremacy."
