The western world will always

The western world will always back Israel while the Palestinians target women and children and Israel retaliates by only targeting Hamas. There are no clever words words that make Palestinian actions acceptable and even though Israelis have killed women and kids they were not targeted. There is a huge difference. This has to be a given and yet Rob at Mentalspace starts a reevaluation of his Paletine/Israel opinions with; I’ve been trying to reformulate my opinions about Israel and Palestine lately. In part, they are a response to Simon Crean’s disgracefully one-sided speech about the issue,….. Well, yes, his speech was one sided but so is the battle. The Arab world expects Israel to negotiate with terrorists while the terrorists only want Isael to cease to exist. That’s never going to work. Crean said; Destroying the peace process is what the terrorists want. That is precisely why they cannot and must not be allowed to succeed. It might be one sided to condemn Hamas, the IRA, al Quaida, the Taliban, and a host of like minded terrorist organizations but I can live with that. I’m not looking for balance anymore. All my reading on Arafat screams TERRORIST and while he is in the chair in Palestine things are never going to change. His hand shows in a long list of atrocities including the Lod Airport massacre, the Munich Games massacre, the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro, (remember the guy in the wheelchair?) the Entebbe hijacking etc, etc, etc. How do you negotiate with someone who is using his women and children to murder your women and children? Until they stop – you don’t. For some light reading you can check Arafat’s CV here and here. Pro terrorists and the scaley left will claim it’s a right-wing plot but hey, facts are facts.
