		<description><![CDATA[In my previous post I asked a question: does Hamas&#8217; war crimes justify Israel&#8217;s? Apparently the answer is yes, for most Israelis. This article recently appeared in the New York Times. In it you find a remarkable insight into the Israeli mind:
The Israeli theory of what it tried to do here is summed up in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was a high school student, the poem by Robert Southey, After Blenheim, was a standard part of the English curriculum. Now that a cease fire has come into effect in Gaza, little Wilhemene&#8217;s comment and little Peterkin&#8217;s question seem quite relevant:
They say it was a shocking sight
After the field was won;

		<description><![CDATA[To start off, here is another excellent article by Glenn Greenwald.
I have discussed the topic of moral equivalence many times in the past. In fact, it was the Shehada incident that led me to start writing about the topic in the first place. Greenwald starts his article with a discussion of the assassination of Nizar Ghayan. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the following article from Ha&#8217;aretz, Ze&#8217;ev Maoz, a professor of political science at Tel Aviv university, provides a more detailed look at the issue of &#8220;moral equivalence&#8221; in this war. This was written on July 25th and the death toll and destruction is already far worse.

It was typical self-righteous crap, whose basic argument boils down to; &#8220;Arabs bad, Jews good.&#8221; One of the main self-righteous themes that runs through these types of screeds, is that Palestinian insurgents deliberately kill civilians while [...]]]></description>

Israelis and many diaspora Jews, often justify the most brutal actions of the Israeli government and army by pointing to the suicide bombings perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists. The latter are used to justify the most heinous acts on the part of Israel. There is [...]]]></description>
