I walked past a Pro-Palestinian Protest in my hometown yesterday and felt rage at the hypocrisy of it all. I tlold the protesters that Israel withsrew unconditionally from Gaza and left it for them to govern as they saw fit. What the Palestinians did in return was to pour rocket after rocket upon Israel. Now after three years of this rain of rockets comes the expiration of the latest Israeli / Hamas cease-fire. Hamas, whose stated aim is the destruction of Israel fires more rockets upon Israel as the cease-fire expires and then the Palestinians cry Holocaust when it is the Gazans themselves who voted in the very regime that is responsible for the firing of these rockets. Israeli patience provoked to breaking, finally respond with overwhelming force and the crocodile tears flow from every Palestinian politico on the planet. I weep for the innocent civilians caught up in this tragedy but for those who acted for Hamas, sheltered, tolerated, assisted or voted for Hamas I shed not one tear. These Gazans are complicit in the making of their own hell.
