Why Would This Happen?.....

Israel apparently feels it should be immune. No, I'm not intending to blame the victim, I send my condolences to the families of those who died.

Israel is the champ of making excuses for it's atrocious behavior by telling the world that only they have the right to exact revenge. I don't think so many people are going to be quite so sympathetic toward Israel this time. Israel is going to have to sit down with all representatives of the Palestinian people and negotiate a fair, equitable and lasting peace. The government is going to have to deal with the illegal settlements, blatant land grabs, right of return, and the deliberate baiting of Palestinians by the Israeli government, it's armed forces, and many of the country's populace.

Forgive Them, They Know Not What They Do.....

IDF: Hamas didn't carry out attack – but is responsible. Need I say more.

Here's a little info about The Army of Islam. Hamas and Fatah have both shunned them for quite some time now, but Israeli officials apparently don't have to consider that. Any excuse will do, and if you haven't figured that out by now, well what can I say.

France summons Israeli ambassador. France has summoned Israel's ambassador, after Israeli troops fired warning shots when European diplomats were blocked at a Gaza border crossing. I guess Palestinians aren't enough, they're going after those pesky Frenchmen now, too.

Now for this bit of happy news: Israel bombs southern Gaza. Read this story closely. It looks like Fatah is in it now.

I'm thinking Israel's goose is about to be cooked. Can't say I'm sorry, and one day I will be able to forgive this backward little nation, but for now I will feel very, very sorry for it. Like so many corrupt, brutal regimes in the past along with the societies that have supported them, the state of Israel is likely going to pay for its atrocious actions.
