“I don’t know why all the anguish over caring for the Muslim boys and girls being killed in the present war. Muslims don’t care about the boys and girls.”

It seems to me that neither do the right wingers.

That didn’t take long:

This isn’t “tin foil hat” territory, just the opposite. CY’s observations are built upon facts, eyewitness observation, history, and common sense.

There’s a biblical book of Nanking? Hoo New? The book of Tani Hisao?

CY was relying entirely on Israeli sources for his “facts�

You’re right. Needs to be balanced with some left-wing Hezbollah propaganda.

Is that the one where the soldiers are instructed to dash the children against the rocks, take the virgin women as wives, and kill all the non-virgin women?

I personally love the quotations about the soldiers ripping the unborn children from their mother’s womb and dashing their brains upon the stones…have to look up the cites for that. There’s at least one reference in the Psalms and another in Judges, I believe.

Culture of Life!

Deuteronomy 2:33-2:35

2:33 And the LORD our God delivered him before us; and we smote him, and his sons, and all his people.
2:34 And we took all his cities at that time, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain:
2:35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we took.

3:3 – 3:6
3:3 So the LORD our God delivered into our hands Og also, the king of Bashan, and all his people: and we smote him until none was left to him remaining.
3:4 And we took all his cities at that time, there was not a city which we took not from them, threescore cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.
3:5 All these cities were fenced with high walls, gates, and bars; beside unwalled towns a great many.
3:6 And we utterly destroyed them, as we did unto Sihon king of Heshbon, utterly destroying the men, women, and children, of every city.

He’s right! That is a totally bizarre make up of “families”. They should have 2.4 children!

And this:
The Yesha Rabbinical Council announced in response to an IDF attack in Kfar Qanna that “according to Jewish law, during a time of battle and war, there is no such term as ‘innocents’ of the enemy.�

I can wrap my brain around this kind of statement if it applies equally to both sides. If the council also ruled that no Israelis could be considered “innocent” in a time of war, it becomes a pretty cruel but understandable dictum. Especially if you are considering any kind of “blood price” or atonement for killing during war, it becomes hair-splitting to say Ezra is more guilty than David because his bullets hit the kid behind his target and David’s didn’t. Much easier on the karmic bookkeeping to just say “They killed people during the war.” Likewise when you start talking about reconciling with your former enemies. (Not saying I agree with it, just that I can understand the reasoning.)

If however, Israel (or its American supporters) continue to play the “Hezbollah is targeting innocent civilians!” card, but rule out Lebanon playing the same card because “in war there are no innocents!” that’s wrong on so many levels.

Yesha Rabbinical Council: During time of war, enemy has no innocents

The Yesha Rabbinical Council announced in response to an IDF attack in Kfar Qanna that “according to Jewish law, during a time of battle and war, there is no such term as ‘innocents’ of the enemy.”

All of the discussions on Christian morality are weakening the spirit of the army and the nation and are costing us in the blood of our soldiers and civilians,” the statement said.

With religious nuts like this providing the talking points what chance does he have.

Do the math: all 56 people who died were Arabs, so who gives a fuck if they got killed for no reason?
