We Know Hamas are Terrorists; what About Israel?
The death toll at the UN School in Gaza city has reached 43 with 150 wounded, according to UN relief workers. Not that it matters; Palestinian parents don't mourn their children as the rest of us do, and since Hamas allegedly violated the cease fire, the Gazan's should suck it up and take their pounding, courtesy of Israel, without complaint, right?
And do we really need to listen to those candy-ass do-gooders at the UN, or, for that matter, the bleeding hearts at Red Cross International, that had to be barred from giving aid and comfort to the Palestinians. Of course, Israel was only looking out for the welfare of the ICRC--nevermind the 12 dead bodies the Israelis were hiding; and, of course, it's hardly worth mentioning that children were found, too weak to stand beside the corpses of their mothers.
And this is where my sarcasm ends. Israel isn't special, and if they are indeed God's chosen people, then they had damned well better start acting like it. The Holocaust doesn't give them a pass to perpetrate what can only be called--in their own words--a pogrom. Nor does it bar the rest of the world from speaking out against this massacre. The excuse given by Israel that their slaughter of civilians is somehow justified because Hamas is firing rockets from civilian areas is a sorry excuse at that. Hamas is a terrorist organization--that is not in doubt. What is, given the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, is whether or not Israel, its status as a nation notwithstanding, has become a terrorist organization in its own right.
