  • Naked in Abu Ghraib/Naked in Gaza-- the U.S. press's double standard

      I like how the previous commentor has already poisoned the well of all who would disagree. Quite a hurdle...

      The reason Goldstone was rejected was because the world grows weary of the image of the Palestinians as victims. Ghandi never strapped explosives to his body. MLK never preached that the white man should be driven into the sea. Those who would seek a better life for themselves would do well to avoid provoking larger, better equipped sovereign nations that have a sworn duty to protect their weakest members. Sderot got attacked repeatedly and it was time to respond in the only manner that Hamistan seems to understand.
      What the Goldstone report attempted to do was turn the ugliness of war into a war crime. The two are not the same. Israel went out of its way to target combatants - combatants went out of their way to hide among the populace. It's really very simple and, as usual, nothing new.
      I can't blame Israeli soldiers for sending Hamistanis into booby-trapped homes and schools in advance of their own entry. I would have done the same thing after seeing my friend blown to pieces by a previous entry attempt.

      The Israelis would have preferred that Hamas cease all rockets (they did not) and that Cast Lead not been needed. Unfortunately, those who would point fingers at Israel rarely point at more obvious inhumane treatment perpetuated by the "poor victims" of Hamistan. Has the Red Cross been allowed to visit Gilad Shalit? Do his parents or the UN know where he is being held? How is his treatment? Wanna bet you would prefer to have been held by Israel during Cast Lead for a year rather than one day spent as a hostage of Hamas? Didn't think so.

      Launching rockets at civilians is, where I come from (Google Map it: it's called Civilization) an act of war.

      What cease fire? Can you show me a single month that went by without a rocket fired on innocent people in Israel prior to Cast Lead? (Do NOT bother going to Google for that - I can assure you no such month exists.)

      So, let's see where we stand (using common rules of Civilization)
      Hamas fires rockets at Israeli children over and over and over
      Israel finally responds by beating the hell out of Hamas
      Hamas sympathizers scream "Shame on Israel"

      Got it. I live in Civilization - you live in Fantasyville.

      Your credibility is blown. There is no sympathy for the Hamistanis.
      Israel exists and will respond to rocket attacks with military force.
      You lost. The good guys won. Find another strategy or try joining us in Civilization. It ain't perfect but we don't have to work so hard to make up rationaliztions for our anti-semitism.
