A rant about Israel vs. Hamas press coverage.

I've been watching the news and reading some of the comments here and I'm becoming a bit irritated with Hamas supporters.

Consider this my list of annoyances...

*  Israel is being accused of war crimes because they accidentally injure/kill civilians.  The news media and Hamas apologists on this blog, not to mention the UN are all about investigating and prosecuting Israeli's.

No one says a word about Hamas purposely targeting civilians everytime they launch a rocket barrage toward one of the Israeli cities.

*  People are talking about proportionality in warfare.  This one is particularly annoying.  Let the USMC go into combat against an enemy and we have proportional casualties and I'll personally be traveling to Quantico to kick someone's ass.  if you're waging warfare correctly then you better be getting lopsided results on the battlefield.  If you have a small, high tech, mechanized force then by God you damn well NEED to make sure that the enemy is bleeding more than your forces.

The same applies to the IDF.  The proportionality idiots in the media need to seriously suck a dick.

*  The US State Dept.  These clowns are looking at a crisis in Europe that needs serious attention yet we have the Sec of State in the Middle East dealing with the conflict there.  You attack the most serious issues first and despite the attention that the cocktail set gives the Palestinian movement, its just not that important in the grand scheme of things.  Quite honestly I rank world issues in this order....

1.  Ukraine.
2.  Iraq-ISIS issue.
3.  Jordan refugee crisis.
4.  Syria.
5.  Boko Haram in Nigeria.
6.  Saudi Arabia/Qatar/UAE insurgency issues.
7.  Afghanistan....and then finally....
8.  Israel vs. Hamas.

Its ok for a blog to become focused on a conflict.  Because of my support for Israel and my watching the performance of their military, its captured my attention.

But make no mistake about it (yep, gonna repeat myself...again) the Ukraine crisis is the one that will wreck the global economy and plunge us all into a recession (well a deeper recession).
