Egypt’s new leaders are proving to be more hypocritical than their former ruler when dealing with Israel and Hamas.
Egypt and the Muslim world have been screaming at Israel to stop fighting, while ignoring Hamas and their rocket strikes on Israeli cities, which provoked the Israelis into returning fire.
If one of these other countries were being fired upon by terrorist groups, they’d already have sent in ground troops. Israel’s response has been very limited by comparison so far, targeting rocket launchers, Hamas commanders, rocket storage facilities and Hamas terrorists.
Unfortunately, because Gaza is so small and so packed with people, everything Israel has attacked so far is amongst the Palestinian civilian population. And Hamas doesn’t care where it puts its military equipment either. There was an image of a rocket launcher next to a mosque yesterday on various web sites.
If the Muslims really want peace, they need to be more even-handed and realize that Hamas is the main cause of the problem. If they were to stop firing, so would Israel. It’s just that simple.
I think the Muslim world is sacrificing the Palestinians to Hamas militarism, just to get at Israel. Otherwise they wouldn’t be arming a terrorist group and screaming at Israel to stop firing back while ignoring Hamas’s attacks on Israel.
