Original article: The Israel rules

Who Writes this Anti-Semitic Crap for You?

Get real. Hamas exists to obliterate the State of Israel. That means killing every single person with Israeli citizenship. In the face of that threat, what should the good citizens of Israel do, sing Kum-Ba-Yah and die quietly?

When our country was attacked by Japan, our fathers (and mothers) responded by bombing Japan and Germany into smoldering heaps, killing thousands of civilians, until they quit fighting us. Our parents were completely correct in defending our country, and the people in Israel are absolutely correct in defending their country.

Terrorists kill scores of people almost daily in Iraq with suicide bombs, where are the horror and protest against those crimes? Are those victims less worthy because they are murdered by fellow Moslem's? I don't recall a Salon article expressing outrage over those bombings.

The residents of Gaza choose to shoot rockets at Israel, an act of war. It's high time that western people stood up to the murderers.
