More misplaced sympathy and concern

Serry, center, visits Palestinian families a day after they were evicted from their house in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, Monday, Aug. 3, 2009.

So after the world meddles in an internal Israeli matter that went through a free democratic country's legal system - all the way to the Supreme Court - the UN must explicitly show it's misplaced sympathy and concern. When was the last time the UN visited people in Sderot, or victims and families from any of the homicide bombers or... you get my point.

Hey Zahal, duck!

In this photo taken Sunday, June 14, 2009 Palestinian security officers loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas train in the West Bank town of Jenin. In a military-style exercise, everything went according to script: U.S.-trained Palestinian commandos, faces smeared with black camouflage paint and moves carefully choreographed, stormed a mock militants' hideout in an abandoned building, 'wounding' one gunman and arresting a second. Yet reality is far less accommodating in the Israel-controlled West Bank, where Palestinian forces try to expand islands of limited authority by proving their effectiveness, including by going after Hamas militants.(AP Photo/Mohammed Ballas)

It's just a matter of time before U.S. - trained Palestinian commandos are pointing their US supplied weapons, tactics and training at Israelis.

Hamas is pro-Israel

Notice the National Islamic Bank's sign. It has a piece with the shape of Israel on it. Obviously, Hamas has moderated it's rhetoric and has become pro-Israel - not.
