We are especially horrified by what Israel does because we in the west unconditionally prop Israel up. We do not prop up many "Islamic" regimes, Keith. It all gives some of us a bit of a conscience. Let me just ask you why President Obama has been so quick to deploy his air strikes against ISIS (a strategy which, reluctantly, I support), yet has scarcely a word to say about the slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza. Nothing to do with the pro-Israel lobby, I suppose? Your argument turned on its head, innit, Keith?
