It Boggles the Mind

It’s hard for anybody to wrap their minds around what is happening in Gaza these days.

Every time I read about what is going on in Gaza I am continually surprised and disgusted. This Haaretz article reports about an abandoned IDF raid on a house in Gaza. They warned the resident of the place to leave, and were planning to hit it – because it is known as a weapons storage facility. Someone “called out the troops” as it were – and groups of Palestinian civilians (also terrorists? hard to tell) came to protect the house.

You read correctly – they were willing to risk their lives in order to save the ammunition held inside.

I can almost accept how a teenager or young adult, who has undergone brainwashing to believe that committing suicide will bring him glory and rewards in heaven, will strap a bomb belt and blow himself up. Almost.

But groups of people (supposedly civilians) risking their lives to save a house full of ammunition?

Meanwhile, Kassams are still falling this morning in the western Negev and Sderot – at least one man has been injured. And the UN has decided to focus on the sins “committed” by Israel, while completely ignoring the Kassams aimed continuously at civilians.

Did I say mind boggling?
