Targeting civilians *UPDATE*

I noted a couple of posts ago that the UN, predictably, is up in arms about the fact that Israel finally took action against the militants firing rockets at civilians. I’m sure, though, that the UN will greet with mind-numbing silence the fact that terrorists invaded a school in Jerusalem and killed seven (with a suicide belt on one demonstrating the intention to take out many more):

Two gunmen infiltrated a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem and opened fire in a dining hall Thursday night, killing at least seven people, police and rescue workers said. Israeli media said about 35 people were wounded.

Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben Ruby said one of the infiltrators was wearing an explosive belt. He said students were being evacuated from the building.

UPDATE: Israel targets soldiers and weeps for the civilians it’s forced to kill. Palestinians target civilians and go dancing in the street to celebrate their deaths:

The Palestinian Hamas movement hailed a deadly attack on a Jewish religious school in Jerusalem on Thursday night as “heroic,” without claiming responsibility for the strike that killed eight.

“This heroic attack in Jerusalem is a normal response to the crimes of the occupier and its murder of civilians,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said.

Another spokesman, Taher al-Nunu, blamed the attack on Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, Defence Minister Ehud Barak and the Israeli government.

“We have warned before about the responsibility of the escalation in Gaza and warned of Palestinian anger,” Nunu said.

Hundreds of Palestinians poured into the streets of Gaza City as news of the attack at a west Jerusalem yeshiva spread, firing automatic rifles into the air in celebration.

Several more hundred people likewise celebrated in the northern town of Jabaliya, which has borne the brunt of deadly Israeli military strikes over the past eight days that have killed more than 130 Palestinians in Gaza amid a sharp escalation of violence in and around the impoverished territory.

These aren’t people; they’re monsters who have abandoned all semblance of human values. And the moral equivalent idiots on the left, including Barack Obama’s closest advisers, treat them as morally equivalent. For that, the Left is almost as contemptible as the killers themselves.

UPDATE II:  The targets of this “heroic attack” were unarmed high school students.
