“Why All The Fuss?” — World Reacts To The Israeli/Hezbollah War

Posted By: 'Okie' | 8:16 am — 7/15/2006 | Comments Off See comments below:

[h/t: the Anchoress] Tammy Bruce, the “Chick with a gun and a microphone!”, examines recent comments on the escalating Israeli/Hezbollah conflict by France’s Jacques Chirac, Great Britain’s Tony Blair and the Pope — each expressing the position that the Israeli response has been “disproportionate”, along with offering up a big can of moral equivalence to pour all over the situation — and comes to a logical conclusion: Jew hatred is alive and well all over the place.

I can hear the world now– “Jews die every day, and have been killed for thousands of years, so what’s the big deal anyway? Israel goes on a rampage, ‘And for what?’ A few Jewish soldiers? Bah!”

In a world that looked away when 6 million were murdered, I’m sure it is inexplicable to them that anyone would care about two or three missing Jews. Which is exactly why Israel deserves to exist, should exist, and needs to exist. The world’s reaction to Israel’s defense response is also proof that she needs and deserves unmitigated support– Because Jew-hatred is alive and well, and the rest of the world is as depraved as it was in the last century.
(…)
No longer does the world dare look away because it’s “only” Jews being attacked. No longer can they care only when it might hurt “us.” We can assess the condition of humanity based on how humanity treats the Jewish community.

If “how humanity treats the Jewish community” is the benchmark, we’re not doin’ so well, that’s for damn sure! (db)
