A letter from my SIL in Israel

Good for you for speaking up and writing. Unfortunately, since the 1980s, Israel has become the evil occupier in the eyes of the media. You would figure that the media would have learned something from the Iraq war. That is that the arabs don't have fair war fare. It is well known that they place stocks of ammunition and bombs in schools and where families live. They send their children across the border to blow up Israeli buses full of families. They place mines or bombs where they know children's school buses are traveling. Israel would never target children and families. But Hamas/Palestinians have been sending Katusha missiles into Israel targeting border cities where families live since Israel gave up Gaza. Was this ever in the media? Of course not!! Schools are closed in the south and families that live in major cities like Ashdod, Ashkelon and Beer Sheva have to live in bomb shelters. Regular innocent people have been killed and severely injured because of these bombs. It all comes down to what you said in your article. If Mexico would start sending bombs and hitting places like San Diego, people in the U.S. would be in an uproar. Israel has been tolerating this for years!!!! Before the Lebanon wars, Hizbullah was sending missiles also for many years till Israel had to put a foot down. Who are the protesters across Europe demonstrating? They are the arabs who need to find a scape goat for all their issues. Europe would rather them demonstrate about Israel than cause havoc like they did in Paris in violent demonstration by burning cars.
