Israel and terrorists

Saudi led airstrikes in Yemen kill 120 civilians in an attack three miles from where their enemy's base is, an enemy that has not directly attacked Saudi Arabia.

Every week hundreds of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan are killed by suicide bombers. In contrast, a year ago in defending itself against thousands of rockets being fired into its country, a few Israeli rockets landed near civilian areas and unfortunately, a comparatively few civilians were killed.

The UN quickly condemned Israel and the media couldn’t get enough of the story, often failing to mention that rockets were either stored or were fired from the same location as the attack occurred. Apparently it’s OK when Muslims slaughter the innocent, but heaven forbid, a Jewish state should defend itself against terrorists.
