License to kill in Gaza

Summary

Problems at the crash site (of MH 17) have prevented a full investigation, but the deaths of nearly 300 civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time were sufficient to spur action, and not just condemnation.

In the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of people have found themselves caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

  1. Judaism, like Christianity and Islam, bases its spirituality in human compassion:

    When you spread out your hands in prayer,
    I hide my eyes from you;
    even when you offer many prayers,
    I am not listening.
    Your hands are full of blood!
    Wash and make yourselves clean.
    Take your evil deeds out of my sight;
    stop doing wrong.
    Learn to do right; seek justice.
    Defend the oppressed.
    Take up the cause of the fatherless;
    plead the case of the widow. (Isaiah 1:15-17)
