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.

    Lest we forget the difference in definitions between child and 'child' either

    We here in the comfy west consider anyone, even some thug lugging a gun, a child if they're 17 or younger. In much of the world including the middle east, that age is somewhat lower. Hamas trains 'children' to be fighters at an early age. They're even proud of slapping up Youtubes that show 12, 13, 14 year olds practicing with assault rifles. If a 12 year old is pointing a gun at me I will blow his head off. You? Maybe not. We'll send flowers to your dog.
