Dry Your Tears for Gaza's Nasser Hospital

(Washington Times) Anath Hartmann - On Monday, the Israel Defense Forces struck Nasser Hospital in Gaza. The outcry from Europe was pretty much instantaneous, as it always is. This is how it goes whenever Jews have the temerity to survive a genocidal rampage that was intended to wipe them from the face of the earth and then get proactive about staying alive. For the past 22 months, Israel has fought back, daring to sustain itself, its people and a remarkably vibrant economy in what amounts to the worst neighborhood on the planet. Here's the truth about the hospital strike and others almost exactly like it: The place is a known terrorist operations center. Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin, an IDF spokesperson, said Monday, "Hamas terrorists deliberately use civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, as shields. They have even operated from the Nasser Hospital itself." Are the deaths of civilians at Nasser Hospital sad? Certainly. Yet unlike Hamas, which has every intention of killing Israelis and Jews wherever and whenever it can, Israel didn't intend to kill them, and it wouldn't have targeted the hospital in the first place if terrorists hadn't been using it to advance the "global jihad" against the Jewish state. In fact, Israel's armed forces could probably be much further along in their quest to stamp out Hamas if they weren't so totally committed to avoiding civilian injury and death at every turn. In its bid to keep from being "pushed into the sea," Israel is likely to hit more civilian infrastructure in Gaza. When it does, Jew-haters the world over will respond with exaggerated shock. Here's hoping the rest of us will have the sense to see what's really going on.
