Hamas "behaviour is unforgivable"… but must be forgiven, by Israel, by not responding!?
Thus, and at the same time Israel stopping water and electricity to Gaza is "a war crime".
Never mind that that's not the case: Israel supplies only 10% of Gaza's water while water supplies to South Gaza continue, an area to which Gazans have been urged, by Israel, to move, to ensure their safety, while Hamas stops them moving there! Because — we must mark this well — Hamas wants its own people killed and wounded by the IDF. To show the world how horrid the Jews are. The more children dead, in the rubble, the better! Hamas say openly that they use their own people, women and children among them, as human shields. They say it openly.
"Neutral" people like Rowse (!) find it impossible to point this out.
No, no mention of all these thing in Rowse's horrid piece of moral equivalence. No mention of these big, big differences in moral treatments of the other.
Again: Rowse claims the hospital bombing might be Hamas or might be Israel. No, it can't. We know to a moral certainty that it was a failed rocket from the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. We know this from evidence of video, radar and voice.
Yet to Rowse it "doesn't really matter who did it". Oh, yes it does!
The false belief that it was Israel led to attacks on Jews and Israeli properties around the world including a fire-bombing of the Israeli embassy in London.
Lies have consequences, Mike!
Smoothly sinuous at the start of his piece, Rowse soon lapses into "both sides-ism", aka "at the same time-ism".
We all agree: children being killed in both sides is a tragedy. At the same time, do you stop it by laying down your arms, in a ceasefire, when you are the only moral side?
