This Is Not a "Let's Look at Both Sides" Moment
(Jerusalem Post) Irwin J. Mansdorf, Ph.D - Heartless and apparently mindless hordes in the U.S. and Europe are marching in solidarity with the barbarians that slaughtered our people in the most heinous way. These people do not know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. This is not a "let's look at both sides" moment. There are no "both sides" when it comes to intentionally torturing and killing babies, children, and the elderly, burning some alive, and then bragging about it. Yes, "both sides" have extremists, but only on one side are they tolerated and even glorified by the mainstream. There is no moral balance in holding signs declaring "Pro-Israel, Pro-Palestinian." It is as if, at the end of World War II, we held up signs reading "Pro-Jewish, Pro-German." Both suffered, but only one is responsible for the suffering.
