I was born in Brooklyn (like everybody), but I served in the Israeli army; my first reserve duty was the Six-Day War. My father was a Palestinian--born in Poland, emigrated to Palestine when he was three years old, in 1920. I inherited a deep love of Israel from him. I hate the stream of lies I read and hear daily about Israel. I love Israel's people--all of them. [Contact me: joel dot orr at gmail dot com]

israelinsider: There are none so blind… Once again a suicide bomber kills himself and a number of presumably Israeli civilians, and a glib representative of the Palestinian Authority gets on MSNBC and says he deplores the killing of innocent civilians, be they Israelis or Palestinians. He draws no distinction between his people's being used as human shields by terrorists and some dying as a result of military action to stop the breeders of terror, and the deliberate targeting of civilians by suicide bombers for no other reason that to instill fear in the population of Israel. It is easy to find moral equivalency when you have no morality in the first place.
