Notice how our State Department and the Dictator’s Club (aka the United Nations) reserve their most-horrified rhetoric for Israel’s retaliation for months (nay, years) of Hamas rockets on Israeli civilians.
Do they expend the same outrage for the civilian slaughter in Syria and Iraq as they do for the perfidious Jews? Ho, ho. Next question.

“Israel’s battle with Hamas in Gaza is a test for the civilized world whether it will grant immunity to terrorists because they attack from schools, homes and hospitals, [Israel] Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Wednesday night.
“Netanyahu, speaking at a press conference for foreign journalists to combat criticism of Israel over the civilian deaths in Gaza, said that by waging its war from the heart of civilian areas, Hamas was ‘engaging in child sacrifice, and that is something for which it must be held accountable.’”
An interesting modern comparison, considering that archaeologists have found that child sacrifice was a very common religious practice in the region thousands of years ago. And even before the recent unpleasantness, Hamas sacrificed at least 160 children to build its tunnels.
Not that we should expect the anti-Israel hypocrites of the world news media to emphasize either case.

Heard the one about how Hamas keeps its Gaza headquarters in the basement of Shifa Hospital? Not unless you read WaPo Jerusalem reporter William Booth’s latest to the last sentence of the eighth paragraph.
Talk about burying the lede. We know you didn’t learn that here, Billy, when you worked for the Austin daily. Or maybe we just hardly knew ye? Gotta keep those terrorists happy, eh?
Well, in fairness to Billy, he and the WaPo (which is notorious for rewriting its reporters) must cooperate in pushing Hamas propaganda the way the terrorists like it—including the latest wrenching and probably staged pix from Pallywood—or they’ll kidnap him for ransom like they did BBC reporter Alan Johnson back in 2007.
Just don’t let the WaPo convince you that Billy’s an objective reporter on the fighting in Gaza or the doings of Hamas. No one is.
“In recent days alone, we’ve heard the account of Gabriele Barbati, an Italian journalist who, once leaving Gaza, tweeted: “Out of #Gaza far from #Hamas retaliation: misfired rocket killed children yday in Shati. Witness: militants rushed and cleared debris.” We’ve also heard from Radjaa Abou Dagga, a former correspondent for France’s Liberation whose attempts at practicing honest journalism got him summoned by Hamas thugs, accused of collaborating with Israel, and told to stop working as a reporter and leave the strip at once.”
Indeed, as one of my favorite bloggers, Elder of Ziyon, puts it: “Every single report on TV from Gaza should have this disclaimer: ‘Our reporters have been threatened, implicitly and perhaps explicitly, by Hamas to only report one side of the story. Viewers must not trust anything they are saying.’”
Works for newspaper reporters and editors, too. And their Internet clones.

We’ll see how they like their terrorists up close and personal, eh?
The only thing that would be better would be to send them up the Potomac to the White House where Barry could personally hand them his foreign aid check and weep over the casualties they brought on themselves.
Then he can come pay his respects to the IDF dead and wounded who didn’t.

Wonder why the IDF is concentrating on hitting Hamas command and control centers, most of which are located under schools, hospitals and mosques?
Qatar, the oil-rich sheikdom to whom the White House recently gave $11-$14 billion in American arms, has provided Hamas with sophisticated computer-controlled equipment. Sensors embedded in the attack tunnels to remotely monitor incursions and set off booby-traps. And remote-firing systems for their rockets. All done from those command and control centers tucked into a Palestinian kindergarten or UN medical clinic.
We sure know how to pick ’em when it comes to foreign aid, eh? That $47 million check Wormtongue recently gave Hamas was just icing on the Qatari cake. Sure, Qatar may been of some help in getting Hamas to the negotiating table, little as that was worth. But billions in arms as a reward? Arms that will only wind up in terrorist hands?
Do we have a genius in the White House? Or what? How about his co-genius in the House of Representatives?
