Double Standards, Some Would Say.

And could there be some truth to those last words?

Good article. We're already paying the price.

Hamas' crude rockets fired toward Israel have killed one person in the the last 18 months. This is how it should be done, courtesy of the Israeli army in a residential part of Gaza.

Also making 16 familes homeless (if anyone survived).

Gromit, got to question why the camera was left pointing at a completely nondescript building. Are you sure that was an Israeli bomb and not just a bit of propaganda?

[Gromit]

The Independent report mirrors my question from Tuesday...

// 300 civilians murdered in Ukraine = Sanctions, rebuke for Putin, UN resolution.

600 civilians murdered in Gaza = No sanctions, no UN resolution, no rebukes.

Hypocrisy? Double standards? Or is a Palastinian life just worth less? //

Good to see you reading summit it else than Daily Wail and widening your horizons AOG

Arabs already very aware of this - but you dont meet any so you wouldnt know...

No one has raised the similarity to the razing of Warsaw in Aug 1944.
Before the trigger happy mods press the zap button,
please note this is NOT the razing of the Warsaw Ghetto in April 1943 which was different and at a different time

Excellent article.Could very well have been written by Gromit!

-----------------
I've no doubt they survived, the IDF would have given them at least 30 minutes grace to evacuate, in all probability.

// I've no doubt they survived, the IDF would have given them at least 30 minutes grace to evacuate, in all probability. //

The 'Roof Knock' was six seconds on the video before the big bomb arrived. It looked like a 5 or 6 storey building, so how many could have got out in 6 seconds?

There are already 1,000 Palestinians dead. How can that be so when, apparently, the IDF are so caring and kindly?

Before criticising others for what they read, perhaps you should read what you put yourself, Mr Pedantic?

/// Arabs already very aware of this - but you dont meet any so you wouldnt know... ///

How do you know who I meet and who I don't meet?

You mention Arabs, it is all getting rather confusing these days, Arabs/Muslims, Israelis/Jews, Ukrainians/Russian Ukrainians, Nazis/Germans.

Criticise certain ones and one can be labelled as being Islamophobic, perhaps anti-Semitic, or even the blanket coverage xenophobic.

I don't know if that was supposed to be a sarcastic remark or not, but it is not very often that Gromit and I agree, but in this case I totally agree with the article and Gromit himself.

Why do most not want to see Israel taken to task for this slaughter of innocent human beings, could it be a throwback for what happened to the Jewish people during WW2?

People cannot expect to be protected for their present misdeeds, because of the misdeeds inflicted against them in the past.
