The US today carried out a targeted assassination of the terrorist head of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. In their assassination, they also killed the terrorist leader’s wife, children, and grandchildren. Mustafa al-Yazid was considered number three in al-Qaeda.
Strangely, the media are not whining that the US used disproportionate force. The UN is not denouncing the US for being an apartheid fascist state for the assassination. The UN is not appointing a commission of investigation, with a Goldstone or a Falk. American professors are not calling for world boycotts of the US. No “peace flotillas” were sent to help al-Qaeda in Pakistan. American campuses are not proposing to name streets after the dead terrorist. American social security is not paying benefits to his family. European cities are not proclaiming American Apartheid Week. Obama is not demanding that the appropriate response to the killing is to halt construction activity in Georgetown. No one is proposing turning Philadelphia over to al-Qaeda now as a peace gesture.
Could any of this have to do with the fact that the killing was not done by Israel?

There is only one answer for Israel to give; it is offered by Sam Cohen, of the Manhatten project and father of the neutron bomb, on this PJTV video:

The difference between the rest of the world and Israel is that the rest of the world is right, and Israel is wrong, get it? Hypocrisiy isn't a strong enough word.
all the rest? like when 20,000 Tamillis were killed last year?
