World Media, EU, UN and the World Community Responsible for Terror

Shame on you all.

Until the EU and UN stand up to terrorists there will be no peace. It's about time that these organizations take responsibility and the blame for appeasing terrorists instead of standing up to them. If they can't do anything but talk, they should be quiet.

For months, every day, Palestinian terrorists have fired Kassam rockets from Gaza into Israel, even if the media hardly bothers to report it. For months, every day, rockets have hit western Israel and the town of Sderot, injuring civilians. Close to 10 Kassam rockets have been fired at Sderot and other Israeli areas on each day of the past two weeks.

The IDF aims artillery fire at the launching grounds of the rockets, to prevent further fire on Israeli civilians.

Unfortunately, either a mechanical misfire or human error caused a house to be hit in Beit Hanoun, resulting in casualties. News reports state that the Palistinians are in shock. Why are they in shock? Because they know like everyone else that there is always a warning from the IDF, allowing civilians to clear the area, and there is great accuracy. Unfortunately the citizens of Israel don't have that warning.

International law states clearly, that the responsibility for harm to civilians is upon those who use them as human shields, and not upon those who fight [the terrorists].

As usual officials from the U.N., Britain and the EU quickly criticized Israel's action.

The U.N. Security Council scheduled an open meeting Thursday in response to Palestinian calls for it to condemn Israel's killing of 18 members of an extended family and demand the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip.

EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Walner stated, "The killing this morning of so many civilians in Gaza, including many children, is a profoundly shocking event."

At least there was one statement of intelligence. "U.N. Special Co-ordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Alvaro de Soto urged the "Palestinian side" to stop attacking Israelis." But even this was buried in anti-Israel rhetoric.

There will be peace for Gaza when they stop firing rockets at Israel. This doesn't take too much common sense or intelligence to figure out.

The World Community should be demanding and enforcing the halt of Kassam attacks on Israel.

Until the EU and UN stand up to terrorists there will be no peace. It's about time that these organizations take responsibility and the blame for appeasing terrorists instead of standing up to them. If they can't do anything but talk, they should be quiet.

The world news media has responsibility and blame too, maybe even more so. Where are the daily reports of the rockets hitting Israel and the casualties? These reports should be in the media every day just as they are for every other country.

Shame on you all.
