"Israel is targeting Hamas militants and their bomb-making machinery which they hide in residential areas, in mosques, in hospitals and now carts in market-places. There are no rules of engagement amongst Hamas militants. There are no "Officers and Gentlemen" there. At the same time, Hamas is being given a pass for this cowardly behaviour. Why? Do the media give a free pass to the militants in Syria and Iraq who also have no desire to prevent civilian death?

American, Canadian and British media attack Israel, their sister in democracy. They all end their reports, voices dropping, with the words "And no deaths in Israel." As if there were something wrong with that. How dare Israel not suffer deaths from Hamas bombs!

They don't report that Israel spent billions building the Iron Dome or bomb shelters to protect her people from constant rocket attack from Gaza: years of random attacks on civilian centres-not military. They don't report that Hamas took all the money they received-from people like you and me in the West-supporting them through the UN and tax dollars, and spent it on military acquisitions, too many from Iran, rather than improving the lives of their people."
