Provocation

We are all aware that Hamas killed two Israeli solders and captured a third in a raid through a cross-border tunnel into Israel a few days ago.

Hamas "kidnapped" one Israeli soldier during this raid, and I can just imagine how many of you good Christians feel a righteous rage over this act of terror.

Now we are also aware the Israel has attacked the Gaza strip with a huge force of men, tanks and aircraft, destroying a Gaza electrical power plant that provided three-fourths of the electricity to the 1.4 million people in the strip.

Israeli response to a Hamas incursion? Perhaps.

But, did you know that Israeli warplanes have attacked the Gaza strip over seventy five times in the six months before this Hamas incursion? Killing almost one hundred Palestinians, including seventy-one women and children?

So where is your righteous rage over that?
