Of course there's a double standard and I can point it out for days. Thing is, it does not matter as people just want to accept it. Israel has a barrier (wall and fence) for security that has been condemned by the UN. Egypt has a wall, Spain has a wall, Saudi Arabia has a wall, and on and on. All to prevent illegal immigration. Israel has a wall for that and security but it's bad for them to have one.
If someone shot a missile across the boarder into America or ANY other country, it would result in a military action at the minimum and a war at the max. This happens to Israel every single day but they're expected to just suck it up. The media excuse? The missiles are inaccurate, low yield, hand made, have only caused a few deaths, etc. Have I mentioned that the media sucks. They lie and lie more to make people believe and pay for a service that they are being lied about anyway. The list goes on and on but the point is still moot. Israel will never get a fair break at the UN or anywhere else (the new human rights council has one single agenda every time they meet, to condemn Israel. really. look it up.) >So, does anyone else feel that maybe, just maybe, Michael has some >justification to his feelings on this subject. > >I can see from news reports that Israel is not attacking populated >areas, is warning people to leave when it does (with plenty of time to >get out, even for the bad guys), and is concentrating on military >targets.
