The Tents Are On Fire
Familiar scenes out of Gaza depicted dazed children sorting through blackened detritus and women wailing over white sheets stained deep crimson.

There have been over 70 incidents like this in the last several months. Fortunately, the IDF is carefully investigating all
of them and will get back to us.
Remember the movie Lawrence of Arabia? After the tribe stole that stallion off the train, its war was over and the riders went home on a gallop? Let old Lawrence go on fighting, they had their spoils and felt no urgency to help the other tribes.
When I hear about the Muslim Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere in and around Israel, always, for generations, needing help, food, shelter, everything, and all those other rich, oil producing Muslim countries sitting there looking the other way expecting us, the civilized world, to MAKE EVERYTHING RIGHT, I have to wonder what is wrong with that religion,.
The IDF treats Gazans the same way the Nazis treated the Jews. If the IDF can claim that there was a single Hamas official in a gathering of 35 civilians, then that is sufficient justification for them to kill everybody in the vicinity. The U.S. Government’s continuing continence of this is disgraceful.
