I was hoping that someone would mention that.

Let’s do a little mental experiment, because we know how Russia is going to handle this situation, which is almost status quo in Israel.

Here goes, mental experiment: For one month, let’s say the populations of Israel and enough Russians switch countries. Now the Russian/Israelis are dealing with the terrorism in their way. Do you think there would be the same kind of UN/International diplomacy directed at the Russian/Israelis as is directed at the Israeli/Jews?

And yes, I’ve got holiday preparations too. This would be a good question, coming whenever the wise son sees fit. Even if the wise son is the wise daughter.

Well said. The international hypocrisy angle is astonishing.

The Russian campaign in Chechnya was brutal by any standard. Yet there was barely a peep about it compared to the hand wringing done about Israel. All while the Russians really don’t care over much about civilian casualties and the Israelis go beyond any other military in the world to avoid them.

However, we all know that Israel will never get a fair wrap for her actions in the press.

I wish you, and your family, the best for the holidays.
