Both the international media and UN officials are freely and repeatedly using the terms "terror", "terrorist", and "a criminal act" in relation to the UN bomb, but are NOT using these terms for the Jerusalem bus bomb even though this bomb, unlike the Baghdad one, targeted civilians. Indeed CNN anchors have already called this a "tit-for-tat" attack -- as though Israel or Israelis have ever deliberately targeted a bus full of Palestinian civilians.from The Corner
Maybe Israel should announce a tit-for-tat policy on civilians. Then the international community could be put on the spot as to which interpretation has been in force:
1) They're only killing Jews.
2) Dirty Arabs can't be expected to behave any better.
The TurkeyBlog believes in the humanity of both groups and thinks both ought live. He wonders why the rest of the world, however, seems oblivious to Holocaust deniers who try to do what the Holocaust failed to. Maybe because Russia, Germany and France - history's top Jew killers and mass murderers by light years - have such a central role in the UN and related institutions.
