After seeing a commercial on TV last night soliciting donations for Israeli Jews affected by the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict I started doing a little searching on how significantly Israel had been affected by the destruction - certainly the images shown in the appeal made things look very rough and, as many of those who backed the Israeli government point of view have noted, there hasn’t actually been a lot of coverage of that side of the conflict.
What I came across was something completely different, and it blew me away. According to the
Palestine Chronicle All the national, state and local Jewish organizations have launched a $300 million fundraising and propaganda campaign in support of the 21 Jewish civilians and 116 soldiers killed during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon (but not the 18 Israeli Arabs who were excluded from Jews-only bomb shelters).
(emphasis mine)
… Jews-only bomb shelters? There’s something that wasn’t picked up by the cable news networks or talked about by polite western society was it?
If this is in any way true the question has to be asked what sort of government provides bomb shelters for one group of their people and tells the others,
'sorry, you’ve got the wrong god, ask him to look after you and yours, you’re on yer own as far as we’re concerned, dig a hole, pray, hope for the best, and we’ll see ya come tax time'?
