"WHY MUST THEY INSIST ON PROTECTING THEMSELVES? DON'T THEY KNOW IT'S ALL THEIR FAULT?"

The press is so anti-Israel, I sometimes can’t believe it. A MSNBC New Service story about the killing of a top ranking official of Hamas by Israel starts with this:

“The Mideast’s fragile truce all but shattered on Thursday, after Israel assassinated a senior Hamas official in the Gaza Strip and sent tanks into the West Bank in response to a deadly bus bombing in Jerusalem.”

According to the liberal intelligentsia, the truce wasn’t shattered last Tuesday when two suicide bombers struck Israel or this Tuesday when Hamas blew up a bus killing children. No, it was after Israel killed the leader of the group that took responsibility for the bombings, THAT’S the action that shattered the truce. So in the liberals mind, Israel is just supposed to suck it up and be attacked. Just because one-half of the parties is still attacking the other, that’s not breaking the truce - as long as the attackers aren’t Jewish. Then, that’s a whole different story.

But they’re not anti-Israel. That’s just crazy talk.
