Israel Is Not At Fault
The
Jerusalem Watchman blog has a splendid analysis of why the Arabs and not Israel are responsible for the deaths in Gaza. Here is a small sample:
This is a war Israel did not ask for and did not want. But it is a war. And the casualties are casualties of war.
Blame for the Arab dead and wounded lies squarely at the door of the
Arabs - of Hamas and the PLO and Egypt. Israel pleaded with the
"Palestinians" not to fight - warning that the IDF would hurt them -
that its weapons were far superior. But stubbornly, suicidally, evilly,
the Arabs pushed and pushed until they pushed themselves over the edge.
As I see this conflict - where the Israelis say their prayers and
ask the Almighty's protection before going into battle, while the Arabs
try to kill in the name of their god and for him - the Muslim deity is
as ineffective as was the one called upon by the prophets of Ba'al on
Mount Carmel all those centuries ago.
