THINGS THE FRENCH CAN DO THAT ISRAELIS CANNOT: On Friday night, 13 November, 2015, French President Francois Hollande said in reference to the Paris terrorist shootings: “To all those who have seen these awful things, I want to say we are going to lead a war which will be pitiless.” An Israeli leader could never say that against Islamic terrorists. Such language would be used as evidence that Israel desires genocide. “Pitiless,” implies that some innocent people will be killed along with the terrorists. Isn’t that collective punishment, which we are told by human rights groups is a huge crime? Or are those are only crimes when Israel does it? Even though a major campaign to destroy ISIS’ control of land will kill many innocent civilians, the death of a single child to an Israeli bullet seems to betoken some failure in on the part of the Jewish state. France and the USA and NATO must not fret over the certainty that they sadly will kill children in their righteous war against Islamic terror, but Israel cannot allow a single child to die in their fight against the same Muslim Brotherhood-inspired Islamic extremism or else its entire claim to legitimacy is shattered. (Algemeiner) The death of any child is a tragedy! Pray for the protection of all children caught in war-time conflicts across the Middle East. Israel has been proven to go out of it's way to avoid the death of innocent civilians in self-defensive measures.
