Terrorists need protection but the civilians in Gaza don’t?
The UN would be an incredible force for good, if it weren’t so corrupt. Only enemies of the US are censured, their friends can do as they please. The day to day crimes of Israel on the Palestinians is almost universally ignored. Compare this to the legitimate defence of his country by President Assad while he attempts to stop the daily rocket and missile attacks on Damascus from Ghouta.
Tuesday 20th Feb 2018
9 civilians killed and 49 injured by rockets fired from Ghouta.
Sat 3rd Feb 2018
3 killed and 8 injured by weapons fire from Ghouta.
3rd October 2017
17 killed and countless injured after suicide bomber originating from Ghouta attacked a Damascus police station.
I could continue doing a list all day with attacks on Damascus from Ghouta. What are they expected to do? Allow it to continue indefinitely? Israel flattened 18,000 homes in Gaza for attacks that didn’t kill one single Israeli.
There is another big difference. Terrorists in Eastern Ghouta have been supplied with extremely modern weapons. They have tanks, long range rockets and TOW missiles, the resistance in Gaza have none of these.
During the most recent attack on Gaza, when did the UN appeal for a cessation? Why does the UN react only when it is a legitimate government trying to rid their country of terrorists and yet Israel are given a free reign to slaughter as many Palestinians as they can?
I would welcome any answers to these questions.
