So imagine you're in Berlin in 1944 working as a newspaper reporter. You report that there's intermittant power, you are being attacked & your borders are looking shakey. There is limited power due to the bombings which are also creating firestorms. By not too big a stretch of the imagination Churchill, Roosevelt, Bomber Harris ect. would be classes as war criminals. Because Hitler was a victim doesn't mean he and his regime deserved any less.
Off topic! 
Seriously, imagine at that time any Brit, including our mythic reporter to, for gods sake, plead to the world to stop the bombing of Germany. The stance would be if they're losing they must be victims, similar to the support Ham Ass is receiving, now.
Where's the outrage against IS from the Christian west?

Interesting read that I found written by a Palestinian, who was like at least 20% of Americans enamored with Obama during election cycles and towards the end are left feeling disappointed in the job performance.
Given the recent IDF shooting of an 11 year old in the West Bank, I assume there will be more violence coming from the West Bank now after it has been quiet during much of the recent Gaza confrontation. This is now the third West Bank person shot in four days.

If the "kid" was 18 years old, would it be newsworthy?
In that region, yes. Any DA the IDF makes in the West Bank is very unpopular with the residents there. The second the IDF leaves the West Bank many predict it would result in tunnels being built in to Israel.

No surprise at all. Europe has never stopped being anti-Semetic. Given half the chance Europeans would herd Jews back into camps tomorrow. Just look who funded Yasser Arafat and his terrorist buddies for so long. I haven't looked but I wouldn't be surprised if the EU was funding Hamas etc... now too.
[/QUOTE]The deaths of the two suspects, identified by the Israeli military as well-known Hamas militants, ended one of the largest manhunts conducted by the Israeli security forces.
Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old with dual Israeli-American citizenship, were abducted on June 12 while hitchhiking home in the West Bank and killed soon afterward.
The teens' abduction and slaying prompted a large Israeli crackdown on the Islamic militant Hamas group and set off a chain of events that led to a 50-day war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In an operation codenamed "Brother's Keeper," Israel dispatched thousands of troops across the West Bank in search of the youths, closed roads in the Hebron area and arrested hundreds of Hamas operatives throughout the territory.
The search ended July 1, when the bodies were found under a pile of rocks in a field north of the West Bank city of Hebron. Officials later said it was believed the three had been killed shortly after the abduction.

Israeli forces had been pursuing the suspects, Amer Abu Aisheh and Marwan Qawasmeh, since the abductions, said Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli army spokesman.
Lerner told reporters that there was a recent breakthrough in the search that led the Yamam, a special police counter- terrorism unit, to the hideout in an area of Hebron about a week ago.
Early on Tuesday, the Israeli special forces entered the ground floor of the two-story building and killed two Hamas operatives after coming under fire, Lerner said.
The military believes both men were killed, though troops confirmed the killing of only one suspect. Lerner said the second suspect fell backward in a hail of fire and is presumed dead, though the body has not yet been recovered.
Lerner noted the two men had been identified as the suspects early in the search, their Hamas connections were well known, and Hamas has repeatedly tried to abduct Israeli civilians and soldiers. Another three members of one the Qawasmeh family were arrested, he said.
"We were determined in bringing the ruthless murderers of Gilad, Eyal and Naftali to justice," Lerner said. "Today's successful mission brings the long-term search to an end, and the perpetrators of the crime no longer pose a threat to Israeli civilians," he said.
In Qatar, Hussam Badran, a spokesman for top Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal, praised the two militants on his Twitter account. "The martyrdom of Marwan Qawasmeh and Amer Abu Aisheh came after a long life full of jihad sacrifice and giving. This is the path of resistance, which we all are moving in," he said.
Hamas denied involvement for weeks after the teens were abducted. However, during the Israel-Hamas war, an exiled Hamas leader responsible for West Bank operations acknowledged his group had been responsible for the abduction and killing of the teenagers.
In the days leading up to the start of the Gaza war in early July, a Palestinian youth was also abducted and killed in east Jerusalem by Israeli extremists in an apparent revenge attack over the teens' slaying.

I can't say I'm surprised. I guess they feel they didn't finish the job in WWII. Maybe they'll wake up once they have a full blown Jihadist insurgency on their hands.
Things may change when Palestine has their next election....hang on a minute.
