How Many Children Will Die in Gaza?
National Review ^ | 07/31/2014 | Kevin D. Williamson

Posted on 07/31/2014 7:24:14 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

There is not much that is simple about the Arab–Israeli conflict, but there is one thing that is certain: The question of how many Palestinian women and children are going to die in Gaza is not going to be decided by the Israelis — it is going to be decided by Hamas.

The Jews mean to live, Hamas means to exterminate them, and there will be war until Hamas and its allies either weary of it or win it and the last Israeli Jew is dead or exiled.

It is Hamas, not the Israelis, that stashes rockets and soldiers in schools and hospitals, but it is the Israelis the world expects to take account of that situation. Every creature on this Earth, from ant to gazelle, is entitled to — expected to — defend its life to the last: The Israeli Jews, practically alone among the world’s living things, are expected to make allowances for the well-being of those who are trying to exterminate them. No one lectures the antelope on restraint when the jackals come, but the Jews in the Jewish state are in the world’s judgment not entitled to what is granted every fish and insect as a matter of course.

The world media implies that all Israeli weapons are targeted on children and puppies and kittens. They did the same to us during OIF. We were always bombing schools and hospitals, and weddings.

Seriously does anybody believe this crap?

What a wonderfully written article! Clear, concise and to the point.

I can’t see how these facts can be debated. Unless someone preposterously believe the Jews want to kill all the Muslims. However, who has ever heard of Jews proposing such things? And The Elders of Zion are a fiction.

“How Many Children Will Die in Gaza?”

As many as Hamas sees fit. Everyone gets the government they deserve.

Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us.

This will seem off topic, but it goes to the heart of the thread.

I have been watching CNN more in the last two weeks than in the previous ten years. MH17 and the Hamas terrorism is the reason. CNN just has had more coverage.

But it's wearing thin...

CNN should change its name to CHN, (Cable Hamas Network.)

The bias is blatantly embarrassing. Every time that a segment breaks for updates on the Gaza conflict, and there is a segment interviewing a Gazan muslim, the first freaking question by the "objective" reporters, "the clueless three," I call them, is...

How many children were killed in this latest attack?

Woof Blitzer, a young blonde bimbo, and a chubby brunette...
I'm wearing out my "change channel" button.

Another CNN/CHN flash.
Talking head said that during the recently announced "humanitarian" 72-hour break Israel will continue to destroys the tunnels that Israel "claims" were built by hamas...

WTF??
