The calls for President Assad to step down and stop murdering his own people, for the U.S. to stop its drone-war on the Pakistani tribal lands, and for Iran to open up its nuclear weapons program to the IAEA are whispers compared to the short-sighted, sanctimonious, bigoted calls for Israel to refrain from bombing Hamas missile sites.
No country on earth would tolerate what Israel tolerates, and what it is criticized for doing. Certainly, Israel is not perfect. Nor is any other nation on Earth. Before Americans tell Israel to stop firing at missile launchers in its backyards and hidden in playgrounds, school-yards, and mosques, as shown here, it should clamor a little louder in support of tribal Pakistanis (despite the fact that Al-Qaida is most certainly regrouping in that very area). We should also consider giving some land back to the Native Americans (as an aside, one can only imagine the U.S's response to rockets being fired from the Navajo reservation into Denver or Los Angeles).
Arabs the world over should be as vociferous in their denouncement of al-Assad as they are of Israel. Everyone but Hamas wants the violence to subside. The Hamas terrorists do a greater disservice to the Palestinians than any other nation (including every other Middle Eastern nation that refuses to provide them with land or shelter). Israel is not perfect, but it is certainly entitled to act as every on other nation on Earth would...and has.
