Low Water

Scarlett, I have read your reposts and excuses, in them you claim that the Palestinian workers in the factory have equal pay, benefits and “Equal rights”. Really? Equal Rights? Do they?Do they have the right to vote?Do they have access to the roads?Can they travel to their work place without waiting for hours to pass through the occupying forces control barriers?Do they have clean drinking water?Do they have sanitation?Do they have citizenship?Do they have the right not to have the standard issue kicking in their door in the middle of the night and taking their children away?Do they have the right to appeal against arbitrary and indefinite imprisonment?Do they have the right to re-occupy the property and homes they owned before 1948?Do they have the right to an ordinary, decent human family life?Do they have the right to self determination?Do they have the right to continue to develop a cultural life that is ancient and profound?If these questions put you in a quandary I can answer them for you. The answer is, NO, they do not.The workers in The Soda Stream Factory do not have any of these rights.So, what are the “equal rights” of which you speak?Scarlett, you are undeniably cute, but if you think Soda Stream is building bridges towards peace you are also undeniably not paying attention.LoveR.

I left this comment:
You do realize that the answers to those questions are overwhelmingly in the positive and if any Arabs are subjected to a lack of democracy, infringement of civil liberties, infractions of human rights, restrictions of movement, limitations of freedoms, suffereing lack of government transparency, persecuted due to opinions as well as religion (especially Christians and atheists), trampling of women's rights, no real free press, and more, they are the Arabs of the Palestinian Authorioty territory?

You could have said:

The Arabs will have those standards when they match your flying pigs kites! Which given their present state of development, is quite frankly speaking, an insult to flying pigs!
