Many Palestinians have been killed under Israeli rule, but their number is not even close to the number of Muslim civilians who are still being tortured, murdered, and maimed by Muslim governments every day. Israel is, however, a semi-imperial power, using traditional colonial methods: ruling by proxy, dividing potential rebels, rewarding obeisance, and punishing opposition.
以色列的政策不是一些评论者所说的大屠杀，也从未摆脱过反闪族敌意。许多巴勒斯坦人死于以色列统治，但其数量远低于被穆斯林政府虐待、谋杀和致残穆斯林平民。不过，以色列算得上半帝国主义，它使用的是传统殖民伎俩：用代理人统治，分裂潜在叛乱者，奖赏合作者，惩罚反对者。
