ISRAEL IS NOT ACCOUNTABLE TO ANYONE

Israel has been using the same argument to justify every depraved and violent action of ethnic-cleansing in Gaza, "We were fired upon".

So they have bombed schools, hospitals, universities, private homes, shops, offices, everything in site. Never mind the people. Never mind over 200 children. Animals. Vegetation. Talk about a scorched earth. Apparently since no one has demanded that they prove this is so, they can mow down everything in sight. No countries intervene. No international bodies of law that typically struggle to ensure some thin vestige of humanity have raised much of a protest.

And so Israel feels no compulsion to prove anything. To anyone. Certainly not to the UN who sit like a mosquito on the shoulder of Israel. They do not respect the UN. And the international community seems whipped by Israel, afraid to criticize for fear of being labeled anti-Semitic.

Israel can proceed to destroy all of Gaza carte blanche. I suspect they are doing a pretty good job of it based on what I see and read from independent media sources. I can see the blueprints for the new settlements now. Do you disagree? You can't. Prove otherwise.

I am sure that Israel is even more emboldened that they were when they started this "incursion" Dec. 27 and why not, there are no attempts to stop them!

I think mainstream television broadcast networks have become total apologists for Israel. NBC World News Tonight doesn't even bother to broadcast the number of Palestinian deaths. The networks do not respond (even with canned text) to my email messages asking how they came to make this decision. All the chatter is about Hamas and their pathetic rockets. The terror inflicted by Hamas? Ten deaths in Israel and a few burned cars. Apparently that news is deemed much more worthy of coverage than the deaths of 1,003 Palestinians including over 200 children.

All the networks bemoan the threat Hamas poses to Israel and justify, on their behalf, all of the genocidal actions of Israel. Israelis might have to stop playing video games and run to their basements while a rocket (and I use that word lightly) lands somewhere and makes a whole in the road that one can jump over. Not much of an inconvenience.

Dinner in Israelis homes goes on as usual. There is more than bread on their table unlike in Gaza. There is meat and vegetables and fruit. They even have a table! They can shower with clean water at the end of the day. They can turn on their televisions and computers without giving it a second thought. They can use their telephones. They have free passage anywhere without the humiliation and arbitrariness Paelstinians experience at checkpoints. They have jobs. They still have places to worship and can do so freely. They can shop at all manner of stores. They can continue to go to school and university. They can seek medical care. And ambulances can actually get to them in their homes should they need one. They can go out to dinner. Go on dates. Have family gatherings and outings. THEY can lead their lives.

Some of the broadcast news of damage in Israel actually looks like a skit on some sharply critical, analytical political cable TV show. The damage is so underwhelming in comparison to Gaza that it seems surreal. Seems like a joke. How this be broadcast with a straight face?

Of course we all know Israel is protected by GOD and therefore, this is manifest destiny right? They DESERVE to rid themselves of the "threat"of Hamas at any price. And apparently get rid of all Palestinians as well.

Sleep well my friends. Because we have to wonder when the bloodlust hits Israel again, where they will strike. With impunity.
