MIXED REACTION - AGAIN

It is not news that war is once again breaking out in the Middle East on the Gaza Front.
Forces are staging and great volleys are being exchanged.

We are struck by the variety of world reactions to the growing hostilities.

On the one hand, prior to the outbreak of fighting, Israel was the target of a huge number of indiscriminate missile launches which cascaded down, blindly, on cities and towns and the like.

Only good fortune, good luck, or the Grace of God prevented numerous casualties.
The Study, perusing the news reports of those recent days, sees nothing of world outrage about this.
No outrage against the Arab barbarians carrying out these attacks. No outrage at all.

On the contrary, Israel is tacitly or overtly blamed for making such barrages ‘necessary’.

And then, when the counterattack is undertaken by the IDF, the outraged demonstrations begin.

We are busy here at The Study with happier thoughts about happier things, thank the Good Lord, but this Gaza matter is a biggie and is one to watch.

More to follow.

And we will endeavor to end this year of postings with some positive entries.

It is a sad note that some observers would have it that a successful Israeli offensive might be the best news we can hope for in that troubled part of the world.
