Global Reaction Muted As IDF Wipes Out 28 Terrorists In Palestinian Refugee Camp

Just kidding obviously. It was Lebanon that killed at least 28 people in a Palestinian refugee camp:

Lebanese troops killed 28 al-Qaida-inspired militants and captured 15 others in a massive gunfight Sunday after they broke out of a northern Palestinian refugee camp devastated by over three months of fighting, said a senior security official. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity because no official casualty figure was released, could not confirm earlier reports that 15 Fatah Islam fighters were wounded in the battle. A military statement earlier said troops were attacking the remaining militant strongholds inside Nahr el-Bared and chasing the fugitives outside the camp who had staged a desperate attempt to flee.

If the IDF ever managed to kill 28 Palestinian fighters in a single firefight, the din of global outrage would go on for decades. Schoolbooks and academics thirty years from now would be handing out pamphlets about the Israeli "massacre". The United Nations would convene several times and issue several resolutions of condemnation. But Lebanon virtually gets to strafe a refugee camp without so much as a word of protest from anybody. And by "virtually" we mean "actually".
