I was thinking this myself about the "peaceful" demonstrations, when I heard about the incendiary kites.


Stop demonizing Israel for defending itself
By Ron Dermer

...The terrorist organization committed to Israel’s destruction can still manipulate the media into demonizing Israel for the legitimate actions it takes to defend itself....
Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, could not have been clearer about his goals: “We will take down the border and tear out their hearts from their bodies"...
The media also insisted that these riots had been peaceful protests, or “mostly” peaceful, whatever that means. Apparently, grenades, molotov cocktails, fire kites, explosive devices, guns and machetes don’t quite hit the media’s bar for what constitutes Palestinian violence...
In Facebook posts, Hamas called for the rioters to “bring a knife, dagger or gun,” and embedded its own forces in the crowds, ready and willing to kill and kidnap Israelis.

Oh well. Thank goodness that this is happening on the other side of the world and doesn’t involve us.

The Palestinians are far from peaceful, but neither is anyone else in that region. The Israelis are just as bad.

No, they are not just as bad. For one thing, they don't do things like deliberately target civilians.

I can't tell if you're being funny or not in claiming that it doesn't involve us.

No, they are not. If the Palestinians really wanted a peace deal they could have it.

Why? It does not involve us. We should not be involved. Its another country.


And yes they do do things that target civilians.

Shrug. Sure. The policy of bulldozing the family home of anyone who attacks them. Basically punishing the family.

Or this. Keep in mind-this is from the Israeli soldiers who are claiming they were ordered to fire upon civilians.

Hell no I’m not being funny. I can’t control what you laugh at.

And Israel targets civilians all the time. They sure as hell kill a lot of civilians for a group that claims that they don’t target civilians.

Sure they say they don’t, but why should I take their word for it? Based on what? Jews can be just as ignoble as any other ethnic group.

Nonsense. They can have the peace deal that their nemesis wants to shove down their throats. Why should they accept that? Would you?

Look, these are two bad actors going at each other’s throats. Let them be...they’ll figure it out on their own or annihilate each other trying. It’s nothing to us either way.

First of all, they were military targets, probably rocket launch sites. Plus, according to your link, the IDF dropped leaflets informing them in advance where they were going to shell, and the they ignored the warning.

Tell me, does Hamas drop leaflets to Israeli border communities when it fires rockets into them or throws fire bombs into them? Of course not. Your attempted equivalence is ludicrously false.
