It is not concern for human rights, but self-hatred that leads the West to oppose Israel - voila! news. Fear of confrontations, and a lack of faith in the righteousness of the way cause many in the western world to see the war that Hamas started on Israel as a war of an 'oppressed' people against a foreign western power.

One can only hope that the courage and willingness to sacrifice of the IDF soldiers will be a source of strength for those who still want to save the West.
