And so it is with Muslim apologists, Liberal idiots, self-loathing Jews and others who for years have been taught that the superior army with overwhelming strength against a small foe is the evil one. They only remember that Nazis were big army, Jews a small foe. Their wiring is so ingrained that it no longer matters whether one is the aggressor or not. Size is the only thing that matters. These are the same people who most likely supported Israel when she was a small country facing the threat of extinction from the combined armies of all the Arab countries arrayed against her.

Now that Israel is a superpower in the Middle East (the strongest army, the most robust economy, the most free democracy) she is considered evil and violent. Indeed, leftists hate Israel for the same reason they hate America. When Israel retaliates, she is called the aggressor, when her enemies pound Israeli cities with missiles without provocation, they are called the victims. Those who object to Israel defending herself cannot make the conceptual leap that a large powerful country can be the victim and the so-called small, defenseless , "weaponless" innocents can be the true aggressors.

I have provided links, sound arguments, logic, and facts. And how am I answered? With opposing links, counter-arguments, logic, and convincing facts? Not quite. A quick look at the comments to my post Hamas denies it has weapons as they launch missile reveals cement-clogged minds who can only repeat the blood-libels they learned in school, or the oft-repeated refrains of "how can anyone condone the killing of innocent women and children?" As if Israel goes out of its way to hurt non-soldiers. Yeah, that'll stop the missiles, targeting children. How stupid do you have to be to believe such nonsense.

Israel is undoubtedly the kindest, gentlest war fighter the world has ever seen. Before the ground invasion Israel made over 90,000 phone calls to families living in buildings that housed missile launchers to warn the residents to leave the premises so that they wouldn't be injured. The facts speak for themselves; Israel has killed less than one person for each building demolished. And these are not random hit-or-miss targets but guided specifically to destroy Hamas' military capability. What country have you ever heard of that calls the civilian population by phone to warn them of an impending attack? Don't bother answering.

Instead of receiving the world's approbation for her concern and care about human life, Israel instead gets condemnation. The thugs who send missiles toward schools and hospitals purposely to terrify and kill innocents without provocation, those thugs are defended as victims. And the morons who defend those thugs cannot see the truth.
