WHO DEFENDS THE INNOCENTS?

WHY?

Why endanger their own children?? Why did so many families endanger themselves and their children in a war they knew would come??  Did they need the money, a home? Why on earth would they agree to build a missile launcher into their homes?

How could they not know that they were painting a target on their families?  Did they hate Israel enough to die or lose their families by installing a war machine of mass destruction in their homes? Did they really think that Israel would allow Israeli  families to die just to avoid harming theirs??

But then, what other Enemy besides Israel has ever, would ever, ever break into a local radio broadcast to give them advance warning to flee before destroying that missile?  Drop leaflets? Give them time to flee? What other Enemy would warn them before an attack in order to save their lives and the lives of their innocent children?

Did anyone warn Israeli children not to play ball outside, not to stay in their homes or, indeed, warn them about impending attacks, tell them to flee before firing incoming bombs and missiles?

Yet YOU, you who sit in your homes comfortably and read this or watch the TV war, watch the death and destruction, and  mindlessly criticize Israel -- the small country whose homes and cities are being bombed day and night,  the homes of families who have NO MISSILES installed in their homes.

Yes, YOU who stand against Israel and its right to defend its borders, its cities, and its children,  YOU in Europe, Africa, Asia, in the UN,  the US and the Americas, the international media, YOU whose streets are being filled with anti-Israel hate mongers and violent antisemites. Understand: They also hate each one of YOU, your religions, your sexual freedoms, your political system and your way of life!

YOU have been warned.
