I’m tired of the way the media has been treating Israel in their recent air and ground offensive against Hamas. They’ve also been very reluctant to compare Hamas to the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) terror group, which has seized vast amounts of Syrian and Iraqi territory.
- Israel doesn’t use human shields to protect their military assets. Hamas and the IS do.
- The Israelis don’t execute people for practicing a different religion than they do. Hamas and the IS do.
- Israel is a democracy. Hamas and the IS are not. In fact, Hamas seized total power by overthrowing the Palestinian Authority in a raging gun battle with Fatah in 2006. Over the last four days, reports have come out that Israel disrupted a Hamas plot to overthrow the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank as well.
- Israel protects it’s people. Hamas and the IS murder their own people by the bushel. In fact, if ordinary Gazans get in the way, Hamas makes an example out of them. See the video above on the Hamas overthrow of Gaza.
On a side note, can you imagine what would happen if Israel were captured by Hamas? They wouldn’t offer the Israelis the opportunity to convert to Islam; they’d slaughter every last man, woman and child. It would be a slaughter, on a scale unseen since the darkest days of World War II and the concentration camps.
The media needs to get its act together and stop treating Israel and Hamas as equals.
