Tuesday's killing by Israeli shells of 42 people, including women and children sheltering in a United Nations-run school in Jabalya refugee camp, intensified international pressure on Israel to call a halt. U.N. officials denied an Israeli army account that militants had been firing from the school.
Israel has said it will press on until Hamas can no longer hit its southern towns with rockets. Militants fired a handful of rockets at the Israeli towns of Ashkelon and Beersheva late on Wednesday, but there were no reports of injuries.
THIS IS THE CRUX OF THE MATTER, MORALLY:
- HAMAS VIOLATES INTERNATIONAL LAW BY LAUNCHING 7200 ROCKETS INTO ISRAEL OVER THREE YEARS,
- AND THEN - WHEN ISRAEL FINALLY RETALIATES - HAMAS VIOLATES ALL THE NORMS OF WAR BY REPEATEDLY AND DELIBERATELY USING HUMAN SHIELDS... AND WHEN SOME OF THESE SHILELDS DIE, THE WORLD CONDEMNS ISRAEL!
- THESE 42 DEAD WERE KILLED BECAUSE OF HAMAS. HAMAS SHOULD BE UNDER INTENSIFYING PRESSURE BECAUSE OF THESE DEAD, NOT ISRAEL.
- AND, WHEN HAMAS ATTACKS ISRAEL IT'S POO-POOHED; THEY WRITE: "Militants fired a handful of rockets at the Israeli towns" AS IF IT WASN'T AN ACT OF WAR, AS IF 15% OF ISRAEL'S POPULATION - WHICH IS UNDER DAILY THREAT FROM HAMAS ROCKETS - DIDN'T MATTER.
- THEY WRITE AS IF THE VERY REAL THREAT TO JEWISH LIVES DIDN'T MATTER.
- WELL, ALL ISRAEL IS DOING IS WHAT PAKISTAN SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE FATA SINCE 2001.
- IT'S WHAT THE PETRAEUS SURGE DID IN IRAQ.
- IT'S WHAT ANY OTHER NATION WOULD DO IF UNDER ATTACK.
- BUT ISRAEL IS APPARENTLY HELD TO A DIFFERENT STANDARD THAN ALL OTHER NATIONS.
WHEN YOU HOLD ISRAEL TO A DIFFERENT STANDARD THAN ALL OTHER NATIONS, IT'S NOT ANTI-ZIONISM; IT'S ANTISEMITISM.
