World's Criticism Mounts

Israel continues to exercise tremendous restraint considering her overwhelming power. The IDF has not used saturation bombing or reduced Palestinian areas with artillery. The Israeli bombing has been surgical and measured. The world should be thanking Israel for showing vastly more restraint than any of her Arab neighbors would have. Even in the battle between the Lebanese authorities and al Qaeda sympathizers, the refugee camp in which the terrorists were hiding was eventually leveled with artillery with no consideration for the civilians who resided there. Isn't it rich that China, the authors of the Tiaenemun Square massacre and the slaughter in Tibet, have condemned Israel? Street demonstrations against Israel's actions have gripped London. Is this any wonder in a nation so in the thrall of or in fear of Muslims living there? Some British also still resent Israel as a former colonial possession that to borrow the Arab verbiage "threw off the yoke". Crowds in Greece against the Jewish state are no surprise in a nation gripped recently by riots and riddled with Marxists. Germans have reportedly gathered against Israeli action or more likely the protesters were largely Turkish and other migrant Muslim workers whose natural sympathy would be for their fellow Muslims. Europe is still rife with anti-Semites. Israel must do what is necessary to eliminate the Hamas threat regardless of what Communists or Jew-haters say about it.
