TRIPOLI, Lebanon - Lebanon's prime minister vowed Thursday to wipe out an Islamic militant group barricaded in a Palestinian refugee camp, raising the prospect that the army will either storm the camp, in what would likely be a bloody battle, or dig in for a long siege to force its surrender.I'm waiting any minute now for heads of state,the UN,EU,international human rights groups and the global media to hysterically accuse the Lebanese army of using disproportionate force, of war crimes and massacres. Oh yes that's right, only Israel is required to exorcise restraint, only Israel is required to sit by, do nothing and allow its citizens to be targeted for mass murder by terrorists. Every other country in the world is free to do what it deems necessary in the name of self-defense. Tell me again that Israel isn't a victim of an international double standard.

Yeah, because nobody ever condemns the Russians for excessive force in Chechnya, and nobody ever condemned the Serbs for what they did in Kosovo, and nobody ever condemns China for what it does in Tibet.

Certainly nobody condemns the Bosnian muslims and Kosovar muslims for what they have done, and are doing to the Christians. The fact that you are unaware of it, proves my point.

As it happens, I am aware of it, and the fact that we both are proves that people do condemn it.

Exactly. No one ever blamed the Hitler Germans for the Holocaust. Or blamed Stalin for the Ukrainian famine. The French were let completely off the hook for Algeria. And of course, Pol Pot got a free pass for his rule of Cambodia.
Iran and Myanmar are off the hook for their treatment of peace activists. And no one blames Osama Bin Laden for 9/11.
LEL, when you're right, you're right.
It's only Israel that ever gets blamed for anything. Everyone else gets a pass.
