Nobody expected Ariel Sharon to embrace the Arab League's latest peace offer, and not only because of the latest round of suicide bombings in Israel. Continues here.====================================================================
Moral Equivalence?
Fed up with Arafat's double-dealing and duplicity, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon went on the offense yesterday, seizing the West Bank town of Ramallah and laying seige to Arafat's terrorist headquarters there.
For Sharon, the straw that broke the Camel's back came on Wednesday, with the deadly suicide bombing attack at the Park hotel in Israel's resort town of Netanya.
As many as 250 Israelis had gathered in the hotel's banquet hall for the Passover Seder, which heralds the traditional 8-day observance commemorating Israel's exodus from biblical Egypt. "Suddenly, it was hell", is how Nechama Donenhirsch, one of the diners, describes it. The bomber rushed into the hall and blew herself up, killing 22 and wounding more than 130 innocent civilians.
The bloodcurdling carnage was the dastardly handiwork of Hamas, a pathological Islamic death cult whose scorching hatred for Jews rivals that of German Nazis under Hitler's Third Reich.
The Klu Klux Klan, the Skin Heads, the Aryan Nation and their ilk have nothing on Hamas nor any of the plethora of fascist Islamic hate cults flurishing under Arafat's corrupt, tyrannical misrule. The so-called "territories" have literally become the ugly spawning ground of demented Hitler-fans, a veritable psycho-ward where 'Mein Kemp' is a runaway best-seller.
Not content with Wednesday's massacre of Jews, Islamic fascists on Friday were at it again, this time targeting a supermarket in a Jewish working class neighborhood in southeastern Jerusalem. Thankfully, the suicide bomber was stopped by a security guard at the entrance to the Kiryat Yovel strip mall, preventing an even greater carnage.
The 18-year-old Islamic storm trooper blew herself up, killing the guard, one other civilian and wounding at least 19 others.
Tellingly, the attacker was a member of the ruthless Al Aqsa Brigades, a band of barbaric savages linked to Arafat's Fatah gangsters.
Meanwhile, Israel's Ramallah actions sparked a cacophony of caterwauling from the usual gaggle of Neville-Chamberlain-wannabees.
U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan called on both sides "to exercise responsible leadership".
Javier Solana, head-huncho for European Union foreign and security policy, huffed and puffed that military force was no solution. His carping was echoed by French Foreign Minister Hubert Vedrine.
British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said that "never has there been a greater need for restraint to be shown on both sides."
You see, in Straw's twisted world, neither side is right, neither side is wrong. To him and his morally diseased ilk, it's all the same. The technical term is 'moral equivalence'. As Straw sees it, bloody Islamic terrorism, which targets innocent civilians, and Jewish self-preservation are morally the same -- equivalent.
Sick, eh? You bet.
Memo to Sec. Straw: Take your moral blinders off, you buffoon.
My two cents...

I hereby offer my sincerest apologies to buffoons! ;^)
