I am appalled beyond words at the media and governmental madness, attacking Hamas at all costs, ignoring the genocide caused by American (US) bombs and Israeli ...there just isn't a word describing behavior so bestial against people of ones own tribe.

Imagine if it was Iran making these incursions against a segment of their population. But nuclear power Israel blowing 100s of tons of ammunition into the schools, hospitals, homes and public areas...imagine if England had decided to stop the Irgun terrorists, then the Stern Gang with these same measures. Imagine if David Ben-Gurion and his family were attacked by new bunker busting bombs and killed for not giving up Yitzhak Shamir...then bombing a classroom full of kids in order to kill Shamir, and an entire village to 'get' Menachem Begin while visiting a pharmacy.

These people justified the planting land-mines in Arab markets and blew up hotels and killed diplomates and decimated villages...and now they force people into camps and are killing them wholesale under the pretext that they are lobbing rockets from the area. And not just for the last week...but for years and years and years and years.

It is so much a microcosm of American arrogance and exceptionalism, so much a lesson in lies and deceits, so stark a representation of "If they accuse others, they are doing it themselves in spades"...it is a sickening portrayal of the worst in human behavior.

As someone who believes in the basic goodness of individuals, it frightens me.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
