The Double Standard

Once more I am amazed at the way Israel is constantly blamed and demonized by everyone from World Leaders to talk backers on online news sites. Anti-semitism (thinly veiled) rears its ugly head with claims that resemble Medieval blood libels and the fake Protocols Of Zion.
It matters little that at the moment (as usual) Hamas continue to rain rockets on Israeli towns, including Jerusalem. One wonders what will happen if they hit Al-Aqsa? Will there be celebrating in the streets with cries of "Victory" then?
They have also bragged about attempts to hit the Dimona nuclear reactor. We are supposed to be impressed by this brave "resistance"? They  continue using civilians as human shields despite past experience. Why? Because they want dead women and children to further blacken Israel's name and drum up more blind hatred against Jews.
I do not support all of Israel's measures against the Palestinians, but this ongoing propaganda and incitement of Jews - because basically this boils down to old fashioned anti-Semitic behaviour - has to stop unless it is to spiral out of control with more Jewish gangs and terrorists emerging to "defend "their faith and the dignity of their people, which is how they see it, anyway.
On the other side, the rage against the occupation (and their own, corrupt and now, bankrupt leaders) has made life unbearable for the Palestinians, many of whom are also descended from Jews who remained after the Roman conquest. Therein lies the true tragedy, which my play explores.
Netanyahu and Abu Mazen both contain the deep wounds of their respective people, who are in fact one people - all Semites - who need to start figuring out how to share the Land they are in and finally grow up! Put the war toys away, come to the table and negotiate.
Meanwhile, Israel has every right to defend herself and striking rocket-launching thugs is a good place to start.
Yes, it is terrible that people die. That is what happens in war. Israel plays by legal rules. Hamas does not.By the way, has anyone counted the numbers of dead in Syria? Funny I never see much vitriol directed to that ongoing slaughter of the innocent!
Today Abu Mazen finally condemned the rocket fire. A day ago, Fatah's Al-Aqsa Brigade took credit for a volley of rockets it sent into Israel from Gaza. I imagine Abbas is getting a little worried.
Most world leaders back Israel this time and Egypt, the long-standing mediator for these neighborly conflicts refuses to get involved. Why? Al-Sisi is fed up with Hamas, and has been cleaning up the area himself for the past year - alerting Israel to Islamic Jihad fighters entering the Suez via Gaza, aided and abetted by Hamas.
We see now their presence, including ISIS or IS, even in the West Bank where their flags flew during Abu Khyder's funeral. The Egyptian president  probably prays that Israel will finally finish the job.
