The palestinian circle game
Once again, we’re playing the palestinian circle game. It goes like this:
Palestinians attack Israel. Israel says “Cut it out!” World ignores this.
Palestinians attack Israel. Israel says “Cut it out!” World ignores this.
Palestinians attack Israel. Israel says “Cut it out!” World ignores this.
Palestinians attack Israel. Israel says “We really mean it this time!” World says, “Use restraint!”
Palestinians attack Israel. Israel turns around, attacks palestinian terrorists, often hiding among civilians. Palestinians screech, “Hey! Israel is attacking us!” World says, “Hey! Israel is attacking palestinians! Cut it out!”
The UN is called to action. Kofi Annan issues a stern warning; formerly, to Israel, now, to both sides. Stories about palestinian children dying are front-page news. (Stories about Israeli children dying are, well, never mentioned.)
Yeah, we’ve heard this song before. Second verse, same as the first.

A story is told of a Jewish man who was riding on a bus reading an Arab newspaper.
A friend of his, who happened to be riding on the same bus, noticed this strange phenomenon. Very upset, he approached him: “Moshe have you lost your mind? Why are you reading an Arab newspaper?”
Moshe replied, “I used to read Jewish newspapers, but what did I find? Jews being persecuted; Israel being attacked; Jews living in poverty; Jews living in fear. I became so miserable I decided to switch to the Arab newspaper.”
“So, now what do I find? Jews own all the banks; Jews control the media; Jews are all rich and powerful, Jews rule the world. The news is so much better, I don’t feel miserable any more.”
