Yes, the whole world is anti-semitic. Have you never studied history? Israel's only major ally is the U.S. And the U.S. has always been Israel's only ally. You'd think, after the Holocaust, that at least Germany and France would be their allies. But no. Silence in the face of Israeli deaths. Indignance and anger in the face of Palestinian deaths. Do the ideological math.

Oh ok. I didn't realize that Amazon tribes and outer Mongolians had it in for the Jewish people. How ignorant of me.

Who am I going to believe? the Israeli army who made a grave mistake and are now trying to cover it up or the U.N. peacekeeper who has no bias toward either group?
What makes you think a U.N. peacekeeper is unbiased?

In any case, once again, total focus on the "murderous" Jews, and nothing but excuses for Hamas and the Palestinians.

Childish. You knew very well that I was referring to the developed world in the West and the Middle East.

I'm starting to wonder if the current practice of leveling charges of anti-semitism at anyone and everything could cause people to take instances of real anti-semitism less seriously? It's kind of like the boy who cried wolf.

Hamas is all too aware of that... but continue to use women and children as human shields - Hamas desperately WANTS women and children to be slaughtered - to build world sympathy for their ruthless cause.

You really need to blame Hamas for the deaths of all those children...

Hamas is a pretty barbaric terrorist organization - it invites death and destruction for the most helpless amongst it's people... all for PR purposes.

Nobody's "leveling charges of anti-semitism at anyone and everything." Nobody's "crying wolf." Nice try at a diversionary tactic, though.

Do we know that's really true, since no foreign news organizations are allowed in Gaza now?
