Israel gets away with Murder (Literally)!

The Middle east is currently raging, as it is torn apart by armed conflict, in many different nations.

I know, I know, this isn't exactly a new development. The Middle east has been torn apart by armed conflict since before I was born. But at this time, it seems to be a little bit more turbulent than usual.

The United States, and allies are (Unjustly) occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, Pressure is being exerted on Iran and Syria by the US, and most recently Israel has arrested around half of the Palestinian government and has bombed their neighbouring nation of Lebanon.

This most recent development is most disturbing. At the very least, when the United States, UK and other nations invade and occupy sovereign nations, they are criticized for doing so. Israel, on the other hand, acts with impunity.

First of all, I would like to establish that I am not an anti-Semite. It is necessary to say so, because whenever you say something true, but un-flattering about Israel, the more reactionary elements of the Zionist community will label you an anti-Semite faster than you can say "Heil Hitler".

It is absolutely unbelievable. Which other nation can invade countries, assassinate targets in other nations, arrest democratically elected ministers and instate a form of apartheid against
another ethnic group within their nation, all without so much as a stern look from the world governments.

Any government that does speak out against the actions of Israel, is painted as akin to the third Reich by the United States and it's colonies. Any group that rises up against the Israeli government, such as Hamas and Hezbollah, are portrayed as terrorist killers, rather than organizations defending and avenging their people.

At this point in time, the Bush administration is not even trying to hide their unconditional support for Israel, and most recently Canadian Prime Minister Stephan Harper has parroted the exact same unquestionable justification of any action perpetrated by the Israeli government.

The Israeli government murders Palestinians with regularity, and gets away with it.
The Israeli government is murdering citizens of Lebanon, and is so far getting away with it, at least on the world diplomatic stage.
The Israeli government arrested half of the ministers of the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED Hamas government, without any charges, and are getting away with it.
The Israeli government have thousands of prisoners, men, women and children, in concentration camps, and they are getting away with it.

And this system goes both ways, as Israel also un-conditionally supports the United States foreign and domestic policy. Israel is one of four countries (USA, Israel, Micronesia, Palau) that is still maintaining the economic embargo on Cuba.

But the tide is turning. This new assault on Lebanon is not being taken lightly by the peoples of the world. This aggression against the democratically elected Palestinian government is yet another black mark on Israel's record. Also, Israel's big brother, the United States of America, has it's own problems right now. This does not bode well for Israel, as their protector will not be able to spare any forces to protect them, should the need ever arise.

Just like children in day care, Israel is going to have to learn how to play nice with the other children , because their big brother isn't around, and when they get a beating, it's going to be a painful one.
