I'd use Canada as an example but we know how ridiculous that thought would be 
Now why is it ok for the US to defend itself and not ok for Israel? I think Israel has shown amazing restraint the last 10 years, pointless but amazing. They get no credit, get condemned every time they kill a terrorist, but get very little sympathy every time a party, night club, or pizza place is blown to hell.
I wish I could chalk up the anti-Israeli sentiments on basic anti-Semitisim. Thats something thats at least easy to understand as a motive, and for many in Europe I think that is a contributing factor, but I don't think thats the cause. Israel is the only real democracy in the region, with womens rights, gay rights, and freedom of religion yet they are the demon to the left. I can think of a few reasons why but honestly I don't get it. I really think the socialists just want Israel destroyed so they don't have to worry about it anymore. |
I have to agree with the comparison you're drawing here. It's amazing how much double talk and compramised morals get into play when people fall over themselves to condemn Israel.
They're the only state playing the arab's dirty game by the same rules. For every muslim "religion of peace TM" bombing, there's 100,000 rioting muslims...or maybe that was 1,000,000 muslims not voicing opposition to wanton violence in thier religion's name. Yet, if Israel kills back...whaoh boy...out comes the condemnation.
They're stuck in a religious war over there. We're in it also, but haven't come to realize that particular fact yet.
There is an amazing set of contraditictions in play with the whole middle east mess or "MEM." If you're Muslim, it's okay to set fire to cities in reaction to drawings of your idol...but get pissy after years of rocket attacks, murders, and now kidnappings, and you're STILL not justified in your actions.
Amazing.
