More Goal Post Moving To Create ?Outrage?

J.J. Jackson* | August 31, 2006

Every day since the vaunted ?world community? called timeout for the terrorists and Hezbollah in their war with Israel it has apparently also decided that it is time to pile on Israel.

Let?s recall what happened shall we?
1) Hezbollah violated their previous cease-fire with Israel by attacking an Israeli patrol and taking two Israeli soldiers hostage.
2) Israel, no longer bound by the cease-fire struck back with military force but not before giving Hezbollah the opportunity to return the soldiers which the terrorists refused to do.
3) Hezbollah attacked Israel while setting up shop in civilian neighborhoods as cover.
4) Hezbollah launched rockets specifically at civilian targets with the intent to kill civilians.
5) Israel bombed the crud out of Hezbollah positions which, we must remember, were in civilian areas.

Then after lots of fighting it was decided that Israel needed to be stopped before (Heaven forbid) they defeated the terrorists. And now we are in the mode of justifying this by moving the goal posts to make the Israelis look like the bad guys.

UNITED NATIONS (CNN) — A U.N. official has called it an “outrage” that Israel dropped cluster bombs in southern Lebanon.

“It is an outrage that we have 100,000 unexploded bombs” in southern Lebanon that will take a year or two to clear, said Jan Egeland, the U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs.

“Every day people are killed and maimed,” he added. “Civilians will die disproportionately” and more children than Hezbollah fighters will be killed, he charged.

Responding to previous accusations, the Israel Defense Forces said “all the weapons and ammunitions used by the IDF are legal under international law and their use conforms with international standards.” ? CNN

Please note that last statement ? the weapons are PERFECTLY legal! Again, HEAVEN FORBID that Israel be allowed to use legal weapons against these poor Islamic terrorists!

What?s next? Are we going to claim that it was an ?outrage? that the Israelis used tanks and planes too? That is SO unfair! Maybe it was an outrage that their guns were better than Hezbollah?s. And maybe their uniforms are outrageous because they made them look spiffier than the crud covered terrorists! After all this war did have a strong media pr blitz component to it and we would not want the terrorists to not look good on TV.

Even if Israel fought this battle with sticks and rocks and beat the crap out of Hezbollah with them the United Nothings at the United Nations would still call the use of these primitive weapons an ?outrage?. After all we cannot be ?outraged? about how Hezbollah continued to besiege Israeli civilians with hundreds of rockets in the same time frame!

No, that just wouldn?t be PC. And besides, who really likes those damn Israelis anyway right?
