Two faces of Islam

 

While Israel firefighters receive help from "Palestinian" Authority firefighters - as it did from numerous nations including some (Turkey and Greece) that normally avoid each other, other "Palestinians" continue to shell Israeli settlements from Aza (Gaza).

From the Jerusalem Post headlined 'We're being shelled from Gaza on a daily basis' (http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=198573): Southern regional councils situated near the border with the Gaza Strip released a joint statement on Wednesday following yet more mortar and rocket attacks on the area from Gaza.

This prompted after a home in a kibbutz located in the Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council was damaged by a Palestinian mortar shell fired from Gaza on Wednesday.

The same newspaper reported (http://tinyurl.com/26eg2u5) on some Israel-related WikiLeaks that showed leaders of Saudia and some Gulf states privately told the US that they feared Iran and wanted the US to do something about it. Publically, the same Moslem leaders told their people via censored media that the problem was because Israel existed. American "thought leaders" were quick to jump on the Moslem "blame everything on Israel" bandwagon.

Israel's government hardly is perfect, but at least - for better or for worse - what it generally says privately it also says publically.
