In a Leftist Utopia, all this and more will be yours.

Whether You Want It Or Not. That is what evil has been working towards for the entire history of humanity. Have a good cheer that even though it sometimes fails, it never stops trying.

So, after the ceasefire agreement, twenty missiles have (already) been fired from Gaza into Israel?

In a sane world, when there has been a ceasefire agreement, and then one side begins firing missiles (again), that is known as… a violation of the ceasefire agreement! And the cease fire is OVER. Yet somehow Israel is still held to the agreement? In what sane world would that be possible?

I was watching the news at the airport. Not a word about this. If Israel had launched twenty missiles into Gaza after the ceasefire agreement, the entire (Israel-hating) world would have convulsed and howled with a frenzy of condemnation. There are days I can barely stand it.

When combatants are unequal morally, to treat them as equal is to commit the great fallacy of moral equivalence.

Terrorists celebrate ceasefire with 20 attacks against Israel – Israel can send note to Egypt

Terrorists celebrate ceasefire with 20 attacks against Israel – Israel can
send note to Egypt
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date:21 November 2012
Israel Radio reported in the 11 PM news bulleting that since the start of
the ceasefire at 9 PM the terrorist have launched 20 attacks against Israel.
It should be noted that under the terms of the agreement, the only thing
that Israel can do in response to attacks is to file a complaint with Egypt.
To repeat: if Israel is attacked it would still be a violation of the
agreement for Israel to respond. By the same token, if Israel saw
terrorists in the middle of launching attacks against Israel it would be a
violation for Israel to try to stop the terrorists from attacking.
Here is the relevant passage from the agreement: “c. Each party shall
commit itself not to perform any acts that would breach this understanding.
In case of any observations Egypt as the sponsor of this understanding shall
be informed to follow up. “

Well, of course, it’s only actually morally relativist when it comes to traditional Western morals. But with its own enlightened revelations about racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. there is nothing relative about it. Absolute good vs absolute evil. Its relativism is only a strategy.

And speaking of “moral relativism…”

It only goes one way–away from the West. If a non-Western cultural TODAY believes that women cannot vote, inherit property, are considered the property of their father or their husband, well, that is their culture, and we can’t condemn their culture, but if Western Europe did this FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO, well, they were evil, benighted horrible culture. If a non-Western culture TODAY believes that it IS okay to wage war just because they feel a neighboring tribe is inferior, well, that is just their “culture,” and who are we to condemn them? But if the West, Europe or the United States did this TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO, well, they are evil colonialist powers subjecting the innocent. If a non-Western culture believes a little slavery helps their non-Western society, well, who are we to judge their society; all (non-Western) societies have value, and their practices are not ours to condemn. But if the US did this TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO, we are evil and can never be forgiven.

I am just mystified.

Not like I think these practices are good, or not to be condemned, but I am tired of feeling like I have to wear a hair shirt for eternity for something that was last done generations before my birth, while the CURRENT generation of the Moslem world get a pass–because it’s cultural sensitive to give them a pass.

Urgh.

This morning on the news: “Israel has fired over one thousand airstrikes into Gaza” and ”Hamas had fired several rockets at Israel.” Several? SEVERAL?!?! How in tarnations does ONE THOUSAND translate into “SEVERAL,” hmmm?
