I don't know who chose the word lynching for this story, but it's so offensively inacurate I can hardly explain the disgust I'm feeling. As bad as that situation was, it was nothing compared to a true lynching. Nothing at all in comparison. Whoever would call that a lynching is a sick fuck with no understanding of American history whatsoever.
A lynching is a public execution carried out by a mob - these people didn't die.
In the historical context, lynchings were a celebrated occasion for opressors over opressees - for better or worse the Israelis have virtually all of the power over there.
Lynchings were completely overlooked by the government in power - Israel won't over look this.
This is so far from an actual lynching that it disgusts me to see it discribed as one.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
