Can we condem something no one has seen?

 

Well now that we are sure America will stand by its military alliance with Israel, lets make sure, that no one questions What Israel is doing and WHY.

 

From 1979 through 1985 I was in the Middle East, what I found there seemed so different than what I read about in the media, what people told me about the horrors of the Middle East Conflicts, AT the Time the POL was the engaged enemy of Israel.

 

I herd of this ‘Using Humans as Shields”, to protect the POL military from getting hit by Israeli missiles bombs and Tanks.

 

Thing is when I asked local Palestinians about this the reaction was as if I was nuts, one such person stated “ What Father or Mother would do such a thing to a child? Which I thought was a pretty good answer back then.

 

Today as Congress gets already to again back Israeli advances and violations of UN resolutions, this issue comes up again, this time I think I want proof before I allow a congressional “Denouncing the use of civilians as human shields by Hamas and other terrorist organizations in violation of international humanitarian law.” I might want just a little more proof than the words of Israel and our Congressional delegation that this is actually happening.

 

First let me address a reality, GAZA is a three mile wide peace of land backed by the Mediterranean Sea, boarders Egypt to the south and Israel to the east. It is at best 25 miles long roughly the same sizes as a US City like Anchorage Alaska in land mass, however in population of 3 million.

 

Today we are technology savvy, so that means with all the cell phones, tablets, camera’s even from Tourists it should be pretty easy for an image of one such event as the use of humans as a shield against attack, better yet with all the Secrete Agencies providing proof of this or that when it comes to Terrorist, how about PROOF of this action by HAMAS, Or any Palestinian. In fact please show documented proof of any Terrorist organization doing such a thing.

 

No proof means something is not be addressed, no cell images, no camera images never a news report showing proof of these things happening.

 

So WHY is our CONGRESS set to Condemn an action with no proof.
