In Gaza the fighting between Fatah and Hamas has escalated to the point of all-out civil war, replete with dead women and children, kneecapping, and handcuffed prisoners thrown from roofs. Meanwhile in Lebanon, the Lebanese army continues to shell a Palestinian refugee camp, with who knows how many civilian deaths. Arab is killing Arab, Muslim is killing Muslim, and the world basically is shrugging its shoulders.
How different from the intense media attention and the U.N.’s hysteria over Israel’s attempt to root out terrorists in Lebanon last summer. This obscene double standard that strains out the gnat of Israeli self-defense while swallowing numerous camels of Muslim-on-Muslim violence cries out for explanation.

Better they kill each other than someone else.——anyone else.
Face it. They are going to kill something.
If they cant eat it or have sex with it they destroy it.

Hey Victor, I’m not shrugging my shoulders, that’s how I dance!
(If you could see me dance you’d know I’m not lyin’...)

...so, therefore, what does a brother do with a goat, Allah be praised?
(Don’t laugh! This was an actual question on the Philosophy 101 final at Gaza U.)
The nuts are in charge of the nuthouse. Never thought I’d see the day, but it looks as if I’ve been blessed to live in interesting times.
Excellent essay on all other points, but this swipe at the Lebanese army is hardly justified. In fact it endorses the kind of false moral equivalence which the author otherwise and correctly rejects; in this case blaming the Lebanese army for criminal terrorists cynically using civilians as human shields. These criminals have even honored the Lebanese with a tactic normally reserved for Joooos and Americans: blowing up (part of) their own mosque and then blaming it on the army.
If they cant eat it or have sex with it they destroy it.

Is there a check box for all of the above?
Be my guest
Thanks a lot!
great thought process...the pali muzzie terrorists are killing each other and some how ...it is the Israelis fault!!!!
how transparently anti-semetic!!!!
We've wasted enough time - far too much - chasing that impossible dream of 'Peace' with the muzzie vermin.
The USA should loudly announce the end of any and all of our efforts and moneys to that end.
Then re-affirm our commitments to Israel, and tell the Saudis to pound sand while reminding them that we've got a big-damned-Army in their backyard!
Interesting times indeed! ........................ FRegards
