Ignoring the story

The Waall Street Journal published an article a couple of days ago about the firing of rockets from Gaza.

As the U.S. Presidential campaign races to the finish, the Middle East continues to boil. Not that the world seems to notice. Last week, Palestinian terrorists operating from the Gaza Strip fired 21 rockets and mortars into Israel. That followed a three-day, 77-shell barrage, in which two civilians were seriously injured and thousands of people were forced into bomb shelters. More than 800 rockets and mortars have been fired into Israel from the Strip in 2012.

If this incoming fire were landing in Texas from Mexico—or in southern Spain from North Africa—it would be a major story. Instead, the world has largely ignored the attacks while obsessing over a possible Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. Iran is a principal arms supplier to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which operates out of Gaza and is responsible for many of the recent attacks. Iran's war against Israel, in other words, has long been underway.

The following is one of the comments posted.

It's always enlightening to read the comments on any article about Israel. The same liberals who can find racism in any critique of Obama think nothing of spewing anti-Semitic hatred that can only be described as vile. The hypocrisy is consistently stunning.
