Following the news coverage of the events in Israel, I sometimes doubt my sanity. Or is it them perhaps? Has the rest of the world lost its collective mind?
I see a clear-cut, black and white situation.
There is unspeakable evil out there. People who glorify death and cold-blooded murder; people who aim deadly rockets at centers of civilian population; people who rejoice when lives and families are irreparably destroyed. Hate courses through their veins.
Then there's a democracy, one that values human rights and human life. A nation that wants to live in peace, but has no choice other than to defend herself against a mortal enemy. A nation that does all in its power to protect human life—both its citizens as well as the hostile civilian population wherein the enemy is embedded.
So simple... Evil must be destroyed—utterly and completely.
Yet others view the situation very differently.
Various public personalities have accused Israel of the "slaughter and systematic murder of innocent Arabs..." Others called on the international community to guarantee the immediate halt of the "disproportionate, unlawful use of force by Israel . . . and the immediate cessation of the bombardment of the civilian population in the Gaza Strip."
And then there are Israel's well-intended friends, who "respect Israel's right to defend herself," but are feverishly working to bring about a truce. Which puts them more or less on the same boat as our "unbiased" media who take great pains to present the news "objectively." Both these groups accomplish the same goal: they lend legitimacy to the cause of evil, they portray the conflict as one between two "sides."

The “media” has been explicitly anti-US and anti-Israel for 50 years.
“I am rejoicing with the 717 muzzies dead on the foolish walk to the foolish rock over there in Saudi Arabia....gee is that wrong?...”
Allah Akbar.
