Two days ago an errant Israeli artillery shell hit a civilian Palestinian target killing 18. Unlike the Arab terrorists who deliberately target Israeli civilians with fatal rockets, Israel attempts to mitigate civilian casualties. The global response, while anticipated and indicative, illustrates the futility of the situation. By launching rocket attacks from civilian areas, the terrorists are hedging their strategic position. If Israel is dissuaded from responding then the terrorists proceed with impunity. If Israel does respond and civilians are inevitably killed then the Palestinians are the unfortunate darlings of the media.
Personally, I don't buy into the emotive bullshit. The Palestinian people are sympathetic to the terrorists and routinely co-operate with them by providing human collateral cover. Case in point, the recent standoff in the Gaza Mosque. Indeed, it is this deliberate and persistent culture of complacency to terrorism that implicates Palestinian civilians.
Update
A big thanks to John Bolton for vetoing the outrageously unbalanced Resolution against Israel. A big fuck you goes out to Qatar for sponsoring it.
