Mort Zuckerman: The time for ‘evenhandedness’ has been washed away in blood

What is the price of trying to make life easier for the Palestinians? A simple answer: murder most foul. Israel voluntarily removed roadblocks; so terrorists in a Fatah group, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, put stolen Israeli license plates on a car, sped by a crowd at a hitching post, and opened fire with automatic weapons. Three young Israelis, including a 15-year-old, were killed, and four others were wounded. Now the entire Palestinian population will have to bear the burden of tighter Israeli security.  

To protect its citizens, Israel has to ban all private Palestinian cars from the main roads, rebuild roadblocks and barriers throughout Judea and Samaria, and end the turnover of West Bank towns (especially Bethlehem) to the Palestinian Authority.  

The lamentable inertia of the PA's president, Mahmoud Abbas, has brought this on his people. The Fatah group freely boasted of what it had done, but Abbas did not pursue the terrorists nor even condemn them. Nor is he doing anything about the smuggling of people and weapons from Gaza and Sinai into the West Bank. Terrorism and the incitement to violence continue unabated outside the attention of western media, which are all too ready to scream if there is an Israeli misdemeanor.

Nailed It!
Moral Clarity BUMP !

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

"Palestinians" must be held accountable as they have never been held before

[RoadTest]

What you're seeing shaping up is "The World vs. God". Pick your side now.

"The Fatah group freely boasted of what it had done, but Abbas did not pursue the terrorists nor even condemn them."

ABBAS IS A TERRORIST!...What do you expect? The Palestinians have been vocal in their goal of a Palestinian state within the borders of Israel with total removal of all Jews. What part of terrorist doesn't the world understand?

Gee Mort, it sure took you long enough to realize this. With all the money this guy has and his long running representation as a really, smart Jewish guy - it sure took a long time for him to recognize that the body count of dead Jews went up after EVERY concession or unilateral gesture made by the Israelis that he has supported and urged on them for the last 25 years!

I can't imagine how it must be to live next to such a criminally immoral society - the palestinians. Its as if a pack of rabid dogs were allowed to run free in your neighborhood.

I understand why the Jews want a homeland in Israel, but they couldn't have picked a worse place. A toxic waste site or landfill seems more appealing - no offense intended.

After the nuclear exchanges with the muslims, I hope the USA will offer a piece of land for the survivors of Israel. Perhaps then they can live in peace.

Til then, keep building that wall, bomb the hell out of the terrorists, & forget negotiating with scum.

Note to Bush & Co.: Stop supporting the palestinians - a terrorist society.

Dear Mr. Zuckerman,

The mess and stench you and your liberal friends have made of the world has finally gotten to your nostrils.



Welcome to reality, Mr. Zuckerman.

Was he one of the idjits who funded the ill fated greenhouses of Gaza?

Gee, if you changed "PA" and "Abbas" to "Syria" and "Assad", and if you substituted "American" for "Israeli", you could be talking about the situation in Iraq. Too bad Mortimer and his rag are "left-eye blind" when it comes to that analogy.

[Sabramerican]

Liberal a**hole means never having to say I supported what let up to this tragedy. And I will be wrong again tomorrow.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Yup, Mort totally nailed it.

The Western lamestream media fools should bury their heads in shame but they have no shame.
