An Ode to Israel's Right to Self Defense

I read this beautiful article on a blog by a man who goes by the name of Sultan Knish. I have added him to my list of blogs to follow. The following are the first two paragraphs of his article, which I hope and pray will prompt you to want to read the rest.

"When rockets fall on Israeli towns, the press doesn't run over to describe the carnage in loving detail or splatter photographs of gore across the evening news. The International Red Cross makes no condemnations, the UN has nothing to say, and the usual suspects who cry out against war crimes when we defend ourselves-- are silent as stones.

That is why we choose us. Because no one else will. The lesson we have learned is that if we do not care for our children, no one else will. If we do not protect them, no one else will lift a hand to do it for us."

His article is called "Why We Choose Us." Please read it HERE
