Iraq - The beam in our eye

Iraq protestor | 15.04.2008 23:32 | Analysis | Iraq | Palestine | London

Iraq is big and under USUK occupation. Palestine is small and under Israeli occupation. Hmm. Which one shall we protest against... the one that our country is not occupying of course!

Making Israel the focus of our protests makes it easier for us to live with the continued UK and US occupation of Iraq. Accusing Israel of commiting genocide makes it easier for us to deal with the one million Iraqis murdered by the US and UK coalition since 2003.

Can we have a discussion about this? The government is still involved in an illegal and genocidal war of occupation against the Iraqi people. Millions of refugees. At least a million dead. Shouldn't we focus on this before criticising other countries for their behaviour?
