Compare and contrast

Let’s do yet another compare and contrast.

Compare Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians taking refuge in the Erez Crossing:

Hamas came by to deliver bullets and hand grenades, killing one and wounding many. Israel sent ambulances and health-care professionals. The Justice Minister got in on the process to make sure the Pals were taken care of. The new IDF Defense Minister ordered the wounded sent to Israeli hospitals. Israel sent tanks to protect the Palestinians in the tunnel from their Hamas benefactors. Now, Israel sent the Palestinians to safety in Egypt.

Meanwhile, Hamas is not allowing any Palestinians to flee from Gaza to Egypt. Not that the world media will pick up on that little fact.

And Palestinian doctors? Wow, what a great bunch of healers they are. Check this out:

At least 200 of the patients were treated for bullet wounds to the knee cap and lower limbs, with many amputations, said Dr. Loui al-Khalidi, a surgeon at the hospital.

“I had wished for some of them to die. It is such a shame to live with such a defect inflicted by their own people,” al-Khalidi said.

It’s good to know the surgeon who operates on you is hoping for you to die. Gives you such hope, doesn’t it? Death before dishonor, and all that. Wow, what a great culture, to produce medical men like him.

Unbelievable. Israeli doctors have been murdered by Palestinian terrorists, and still, they try to save Palestinian lives. Compare and contrast, indeed.

    I think I posted last week that Paleo “society” reminds me more and more each day of the 1963 movie (based on the novel) “Lord of the Flies” – with its atavistic nihilism.

    There’s a rule of the day-to-day Universe of Men that says “Those who are accountable will be held accountable, and those who are not accountable can not be.” This rules explains many crazy things that happen. I see that from working in debt collections.

    You go after those that can pay off a debt. It is silly to waste time after those that can’t.

    So what have we here — Israel is the most accountable of all, and the Palestinians? Well, we try to sell off that portfolio for fractions of a penny on the dollar. We worry about those worth worrying over.

    And when I say “worry” I mean it poetically.
