Although I am heartily sick of the region and its
war like inhabitants, one has to accept that the recent fighting between Hamas and the IDF in the Gaza strip is worth a post. Basically for reasons that
any intelligent peoples might consider stupid, the terrorist Hamas group,
and rulers of the Gaza strip have been lobbing missiles into Israel, but
apparently expected no response (
image if they did this to Turkey or Egypt
....).
The Israeli's then retaliated with airship attacks, and then last week
with a full scale bombing assault. In the meantime the Hamas rockets continued
to be fired. This isn't the first time these events have occurred ....
in fact every couple of years or so there are pretty much the same action -
reaction.

My question is why the apologists for the Hamas terrorists seem to
think that firing missiles into Israel everyday is totally acceptable, and
that no one should ever expect any sort of response back?
As an example of this, in a war that's been going on for as long as the Israeli Arab conflict, when the Kurds attack Turkish troops across the Iraq border, the Turks bomb and strafe whole Kurdish villages in the border regions, and also send troops in to 'clean up' the area in retaliation
.... but there is almost complete silence from the Islam apologists. No one
complains, and the Turks belligerently shout about Turkish pride etc.
However when the same situation occurs in the Gaza strip, the Israeli's
either have to take it or get flak from every 'pro-Palestinian' group in the West ... I fail to see the difference in activities, provocations and responses, except
that one is
Jews retaliating to Arab attacks, and the other is
Muslim Turks retaliating to Muslim Arab attacks .....
obviously in Left Wing politics, that makes a difference, somehow.
