What Would You Do III

Did you know that Hamas terrorists are still firing rockets from Gaza into southern Israel?

That's right, more than 200 of them since the end of the Israeli military action on January 18.

Yesterday, they launched 5.

Where is the international condemnation?
Where are the protesters on the streets?
Where are the spineless leaders of governments, who fail to stand up and utter any words of condemnation?
Where is the United Nations, the bureaucratic and politicised waste of space that is so quick to condemn when Israel defends itself?

Do I sound pissed off? Good. Because I am... bloody pissed off.

Israel is a beacon of civilisation in a cesspit of lunacy. Every day, thousands of tonnes of humanitarian aid and supplies cross from southern Israel into Gaza... 131,477 tons of aid and 12,701,900 liters of fuel since January 18. Show me one other nation anywhere on earth that would permit supplies to flow across its border into a territory whose leaders refuse to abandon war and calls for its destruction. You can't, because it wouldn't happen.

So let me ask you for a third time... if you were the leader of a nation, and lunatic terrorists hell bent on your destruction and the death of all of your people were firing rockets at you from the territory next door, and the leadership of that territory was either complicit in those attacks or failed comprehensively to stop them, what would you do?

Don't answer, because anything other than "I'd blow the crap out of them" isn't the truth.

Israel is showing extraordinary restraint.
