Blood libels

Oh, and by the way, in other news, the UN backtracked on claim that it was the IDF strike hit Gaza school today.
It turns out that the school was not hit after all.

http://haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1061189.html
"The IDF on Tuesday released video footage showing Palestinian militants firing from the school compound and carrying a rocket launcher with them as they flee the scene. "


But you wouldn't get that from the international media of course. Nor will Ban Kee moon retract his outraged, unprecedented personal condemnation; nor will Aradwan apologize for calling to banish Israel fro the UN.
Why? Because you can always get away with accusing Israel. You know, blood libels.

Reply in kind

I was asked at a formal diner by a very smart person yesterday whom I hardly know, why Israel does not respond "in kind" to Hamas' rockets. I asked him if he thought that if Israel used its schools as a launching pad for 2,300 WWII-technology rockets, aimed into Gaza's most populous neighborhoods, the world would finally accept our actions as "justified and proportional". Then he asked to stop talking about it because I was inappropriate.
