This is our fight too


Mel Gibson has too many beers, gets pulled over, and spouts vile anti-Jewish remarks. World reaction focuses on his nut-job father, and people start whispering that maybe he should never be allowed to work again.

Israel targets buildings and villages where Hezbollah has moved launchers or has launched missiles into Northern Israel, and the people die (sometimes they're civilians, sometimes they're terrorists hiding amongst civilians). World reaction is that Israel is using a disproportionate amount of force.

Hezbollah launches rockets into Israel. These rockets are not targeting military installations or Israel's warfighting capability. These are terror weapons aimed at killing civilians. In other words, the civilians are the targets. World reaction is mostly ho-hum, been there, done that.

One CNN commentator came to the startling revelation that Hezbollah was very anti-Semitic. Really, what was your first clue? But the real anti-Semitic headline was Mel Gibson and his drunken diatribe.

Have civilian targets ever been ruthlessly targeted before? The German blitz of London, the attack on the World Trade Center--ring any bells?

What was the American response to the Septemner 11th attacks? We invaded Afghanistan and handed the Taliban their heads. We went after Saddam's Iraq and pulverized his army.

Israel is doing no less. She is reaping the abysmal land-for-peace formula pushed by successive American Presidents. Land for peace does not work, because Fatah, Hamas, Hezbollah is not interested in land or peace. They have one goal--extermination.

Hmmm, so who should we worry about? Mel Gibson or the people trying to finish Hitler's work?
