The Same Old Script

There are so many great posts and articles about the flotilla attack on Israel, including this one by Mona Charen, and this column by Cal Thomas. Thomas writes,

"Haven't we seen this equivalent of a TV summer re-run before? According to the familiar script, anything that the Palestinian side, Hamas, Iran and numerous other haters of Jews and Christians do is justified because of the Israeli 'occupation' of 'Palestinian land.' When Israeli soldiers defend themselves from violent attacks by these 'peace activists,' they are always acting 'disproportionately' and thus deserving of denunciation, censure and ostracism from the 'world community.' One wishes the haters of Israel would direct some of that zeal to the real enemies of freedom and religious pluralism: radical Islam."
