Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

I don't know about Switzerland or where-ever you are, but here in New York we call a spade a spade.
Did I say suicide bombings were "morally unique"? Is that in any way relevant to the discussion? No. (That said, it is—if you will—bullshit to say that they are "horrifying to the same degree that every other bomb is horrifying." Not all bombs are intended to kill the maximum number of civilians. There you go with that dualism again.)
Did I demand that "every discussion of Palestine include a condemnation of suicide bombs"? Do you bother to read this publication you have been invited to contribute to?
The abortion analogy is the reddest of herrings. I support abortion; I don't support suicide bombings.
Political realism—as well as moral consistency—demand that we are clear in our opposition to attacks on civilians as a matter of principle, not only when they are committed by one side or the other. You equivocated on that point. I said no more and no less.
And you have still failed to identify in what sense I am a "perpetrator." But maybe we should leave well enough alone.
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.

WAR AT THE CROSSROADS
An Historical Guide Through the Balkan Labyrinth
The Balkan region is intensely multicultural - a point of crossroads and clash for some of the world's major religions, cultural spheres, and economic systems. While there have been vicious wars in Balkan history, these have taken place in the context of manipulation by imperial powers and the self-serving local leaders who cater to them.
