I put aside my Dallas Cowboys report cards for something far more disturbing.

The hypocrisy is maddening. The anger and bile is burning in my throat.

5 more innocent Jews were blown to bits in Israel yesterday and the World - once again - could care less.

Oh, the White House issued the usual "condemnation". Like every other time, Scott McClellan said, ''The Palestinian Authority needs to do more to end the violence and prevent terrorist attacks from being carried out,'' he said. ''The terrorist attacks that take place only undermine the leadership of President Abbas and undermine his principle of one authority, one law, one gun.''

Yeah, Scott. That's telling them!

To make matters even worse - as if that were possible - the story ran on page 30 of the Chicago Sun-Times. Of course, it would have been bigger news, but they had to make room for a story about King Tut being "a red-wine guy" first (page 22).

To even further nauseate me, the picture that the Sun-Times ran was of the sister of the murderer crying as she held his picture. Because G-d knows, her grief is so much more valid and important than the families of those who happened to want something to eat in the town of Hadera (the blast was at a falafel stand).

The headline states, "Bombing further dampens peace hopes". That's very optimistic. Especially when you consider another story in the paper, "Iran's president says Israel should be 'wiped off the map'".

So you tell me. Who is it Israel is supposed to make peace with? Here are your choices:
A. The homicidal Palestinians
B. The homicidal Iranians
C. All of the above
D. The fact that they have a 50/50 chance of never again seeing a loved one on any given day
Why not just continue condemning the attacks until there are no more Jews left in Israel. It will solve the "Palestinian Issue" once and for all and who knows, maybe it will appease the terrorists.

It worked for Neville Chamberlain, didn't it?

Plus, I bet it would run ahead of ol' King Tut.
