The difference between Good and Evil

Take religion completely out of the Gaza situation. Forget Islam, forget Judaism. Shut out the theistic arguments and focus on humanitarian arguments. How does each side treat their own people? How do they treat people in general? How do they treat the most vulnerable citizens within their borders and beyond?

This is a long read, but it's an important one.


Without any bitterness, with only a professional soldier’s cool detachment Almog says, “They have targeted us twice and they have hit us twice.”
“Hamas targeted a special needs village?!”
“Once they hit one of the  dormitories and the other time they hit the petting zoo.”
“And what happened?”
“Some damage” he says matter of factly. “When the war started we took all our residents out of their rooms and now they stay all day and sleep in the shelter. It’s crowded but we do the best we can. We adapt.”
Maya says” The worst thing for a special needs person is to change their routine. Because that’s very important to them. It bothers them, creates a lot of anxiety. And then we had to teach them new words, new concepts.”
She shows me a set of pictures she wears around her neck to communicate with her kid and adult patients. “ This picture shows an ear and you know sound waves. It means we listen for the air raid sirens. This is a picture that shows if we hear the siren we go into the shelter and we wait. And this picture shows that then we sing a song. And after the song or maybe two songs, however long it is until the attack is over, we come out.”

Fucking animals. My wife's oldest boy is Autistic and I have been going through a crash course on dealing with his needs and trying to communicate with the guy.

Someone needs to hunt down the jack asses responsible for targeting these kids and exterminate them like the vermin they are.

The whole Middle East is infested with less than human bipods.

Well, the whole Middle East except for Israel. I will NEVER understand the liberal fascination with 'The Palestinians'. 'Palestinians' are the 'white trash' of Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia - forced out of those countries in an attempt to rid the Middle East of Israel. How'd that work out? Now Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia find themselves in the odd position of backing those evil Jooooos against Hamas and their ilk. With the exception of Israel, carpet bomb nuke strikes in the Middle East would solve 90+ per cent of the world's terrorism.
