Palestinians Threaten Massive Israeli Civilian Casualties. No One Really Seems Surprised.
We live in a world where it is more or less accepted as a basic reality that Israel will be condemned for military actions no matter how careful they are. People can split hairs and talk about how, at the margins, massive Israeli efforts might sway a few people here or there - but does anyone doubt that any Israeli action no matter how justified would not be an excuse for the majority of the UN to condemn the Jewish State?
Sometimes - as in the case of the Israeli invasion of Gaza - the justifications are so overwhelming and compelling that even recogning them would make a condemnation seem silly. To deal with those cases, Qatar came up with a billiant solution in the United Nations: simply ignore them. Can't condemn Israel for going into Gaza after a kidnapped soldier? Just pretend that there is no kidnapped soldier. Brilliant! A surreal fantasy land...
And now we have this morning's declaration from moderate Palestinian President Abbas's own party that they intend to intentionally target Israeli cities with rockets:
While Israeli towns near the Gaza Strip have been contending with almost daily missile attacks, Palestinian rockets will now be launched regularly on other side of the country aimed at Jewish communities a few miles from Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, Abu Oudai, a chief rocket coordinator for the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the West Bank told WorldNetDaily in an exclusive interview.Abu Oudai claimed major Israeli cities and the country's international airport would eventually become Palestinian rocket targets.
"Our goal is to cover all Israeli regions and to bring them inside the distance of our rockets," said Abu Oudai, speaking from Nablus. "Every Israeli site or city is inside our capabilities and if some sites are not yet they will be very soon. The Ben Gurion Airport, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem every site and city will be targeted. We are speaking about a new era in the conflict between us and the enemy."
When Israel was still in Lebanon, an attack on Hezbollah positions hidden among civilians caused Israeli rockets to go astray and land in Palestinian population camps. Over a decade later, Israeli officials and generals are still discussed in Europe as war criminals. These terrorist thugs boast about being able to wipe out Israeli cities, and it's not even recognized as out of the ordinary.
We have little doubt that the Palestinians will try to launch rockets at as many Israeli houses and schools as they possibly can. And we have no doubt that Israel will retaliate. The only question we have is: when the international community condemns Israel for that retaliation, will they say that it was a disproportionate reaction to the Palestinian atrocities, or will they just pretend that those atrocities never occurred?
