For all its anomalies, Israel is at base a healthy society. The reaction of Israelis to civilian casualties, even among their mortal enemies, is similar to that shown by Americans after the accidental bombing of villagers in Afghanistan. But the Palestinians are different. Though Palestinian spokesmen often seek to justify terror in terms of popular frustration and despair, there is no rational explanation for the outbursts of joy bordering on ecstasy at the dismemberment of innocent children, women, and men. Beyond the controversy over settlements and territory, beyond the bitter conflict over Jerusalem, there is something else at work in the delight displayed by Palestinians over slaughter -- something sick and perhaps even evil.

For all the kudos discretely given SS killers by the regime, Nazi Germany never publicly lionized them, never plastered their pictures on the streets, or openly encouraged children to emulate them. That kind of adoration for mass murderers can only be found, in abundance, among the Palestinians.

They really are sick & evil. Does anyone think that we will see a simply demonstration of this fact, utilizing the facts above, on ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC or NBC? How about in the NY Times, LA Times, Washington Post, Time, Newsweek, etc.? And since the answer is obviously "no," what does this say about the morality of those press & media outlets? I'm glad that I no longer watch or subscribe to any of them. They are actually worse than the Pallies because, having been raised in this country, the editors & reporters should have the modicum of morality necessary to point out ALL of the facts, not just those that selectively make Israel look bad.

Re: post # 13 - "simply" should be "simple."
