CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 18, 2021
ISRAEL CONTINUED TO TAKE A POUNDING OVER LAST WEEKEND AND NOT JUST FROM ROCKETS FIRED ON CIVILIAN NEIGHBORHOODS FROM THEIR TERRORIST POSITIONS IN GAZA.
ADDITIONAL POUNDING WAS PROVIDED BY THE U.S. AND WORLD MEDIA.
I HAVE BEEN TO THE REGION MANY TIMES. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS: HAMAS AND OTHER TERRORISTS PLACE THEIR ROCKET LAUNCHERS AMONG CIVILIANS – IN OFFICE BUILDINGS, HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS. WHEN ISRAEL RETALIATES – EVEN AFTER WARNING CIVILIANS TO GET OUT – CHILDREN ARE WOUNDED OR KILLED AND THE TERRORISTS PARADE THEIR BODIES BEFORE CAMERAS AND THE WORLD IS HORRIFIED. FEW IF ANY SUCH PICTURES OF DEAD ISRAELI CHILDREN OR ADULTS ARE SHOWN. THAT’S BECAUSE THE WORLD HATES THE JEWS.
THE WORLD ALSO BELIEVES THAT IF ISRAEL WOULD GIVE THE PALESTINIANS WHAT THEY WANT HER ENEMIES WOULD STOP PREACHING THEIR GOD WANTS THEM DEAD AND THE JEWISH STATE ERADICATED. SO, WHEN HAMAS FIRES HUNDREDS OF ROCKETS INDISCRIMINATELY AT ISRAEL THE WORLD SEES IT AS A LEGITIMATE REVOLUTION AGAINST ILLEGAL OCCUPIERS. BUT WHEN ISRAEL DEFENDS ITSELF, IT IS GUILTY OF MURDER. GOT IT? GOOD. THAT’S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. I’M CAL THOMAS.
