The Israel rules

America's support of the Gaza attack proves once again that our mythical image of Israel has blinded us to its faults -- a myopia with devastating consequences for both countries.

    Israel to Hamas: "Puhleez don't do unto us what we do to you!"

    "Hamas today announced they had legitimacy to kill all Jewish children everywhere in the world"

    Why not? They just need to say they were shooting at "terrorists" and somehow the kids got in the way. Or announce that they are "investigating" the matter. Or claim IDF soldiers used the kids as human shields.

    It sends Israeli apologists into tizzies whenever whipping boys find ways to fight back.

    Jewish kids are not more innocent or valuable than Arab children gleefully killed by IDF cowards (Remember the brave IDF captain who shot an Arab schoolgirl in the head 26 times...then got promoted?)

    The Jewish State acts shocked, shocked when the world views its actions as embodying Judaism. It claims to be home to all Jews, acting in the name of all Jews, then wonders why Jews around the world become targets of those it brutalizes.

    The Third Reich has nothing on Israel when it comes to thuggery, hypocrisy, and cluelessness.
