War Crimes Committed by Jews?

U.N. rights envoy sees Israeli war crimes in Gaza.

Funny how all during the operation, Israel showed quite clearly and the reporting was quite clear that Hamas cowards were hiding behind civilians and using those civilians as human shields. Yet, ISRAEL is accused of committing war crimes.

Strange how some guy calling on the Geneva Conventions, put forth in a city in Switzerland, a country that remained "neutral" during World War II, would say something this. Strange that the Swiss, or the world in general, for that matter, didn't really seem to care about the human rights' violations of Jews in Europe during World War II. You know, that little thing called the Holocaust, six years of pure hell during which six million Jews were murdered simply because they were Jews, and so many who were tortured and treated worse than animals in test labs, starved, and forced into slave labor.

Oh. I forgot. We Jews just aren't human, so we have no human rights TO violate.

Please, world, forgive my presumption. I forgot for a moment and thought we Jews WERE humans who, in Israel, decided to we should defend ourselves against daily multiple rocket attacks that put thousands of men, women, and children in danger EVERY BLOODY DAY. Oh, but like I said THAT'S Ok. After all, it's JUST a bunch of Jews.

Strange that the Swiss, or the world in general, for that matter, didn't really seem to care about the human rights' violations of Jews in Europe during World War II. Dude, that was sixty years ago. Lets instead look at more recent events.

Kampuchea? World in general applauds the Khmer Rouge.
Iran-Irak? World in general yawns over several years of brutal slaughter.
Rwanda? Meh, go back to sleep.
The Balkans? America gets knickers in a twist, Europe only gets pissed over American busibodies.
Tibet? Over half a century of 'whatever, dude'.
Any number of other wars and repressions? Nope, nada, zip dash diddly.

But if even one Gazan has indigestion, Europe (and Berkeley) has a fit.

You forgot Darfur.

And yeah, you're right. Those poor Gazans. Never mind that the Israelis, when they took over, tried to make their lives better, but the Gazans were threatened by their "loving" brethren not to accept.

Assholes.
