Re: Searching the heart
by
Anonymous
What I have missed in all the media and blog reporting and discussion of this tragedy is any mention at all, much less condemnation, of the tactic used by Gaza-based terrorists of operating (including missile launches against Israeli civilian populations) from within dense civilian populations. They do this with the intention that Palestinian civilians will die in Israeli reprisals. Whether Israel should be expected to take NO action when they cannot do so without ANY risk to civilian life, I don't want to discuss here. But the fact that I have seen not a single mention, anywhere, of the terrorists' own guilt in the deaths of Palestinian civilians is, to me, frightening.
And that is not all: here we have a horrible, horrible tragedy that was, however criminally negligent, probably not intentional. Rightly, the world cries out in protest. Yet where is the equivalent protest against those in Gaza who almost every day try to fire missiles INTENTIONALLY targeted at civilian centers in Israel?
There is (probably) no excusing what happened on that beach in Gaza. And no wrong makes any other wrong right. But, people, where is all this moral indignation when it comes to the daily attempts to murder Israeli civilians, and the daily calculated efforts to provoke the IDF into taking actions that will risk Palestinian civilian lives?
