I received this in my email from George Soros and I asked myself: why isn't Sderot, bombed from Gaza, a concern of his?
(So I added in brackets to his statement)

Statement on the Bombing of Aleppo
The world is witnessing a humanitarian catastrophe of historic proportions. It is happening in Syria [and Israel]. It is being perpetrated by the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, in support of his protégé, Bashar al-Assad [and by Islamists in Gaza]. Russian planes are bombing the civilian population of Aleppo, the country’s second-largest city, to assist Syrian government forces on the ground [Islamist rockets are tareting Israelis civilian population centers] . The combined assault has, among other things, put the city’s remaining hospitals out of commission and deprived the population of drinking water.
President Putin is moving aggressively to exploit the four months between now and the January 20 U.S. presidential inauguration, based on a callous political calculation. As the New York Times puts it: “Mr. Putin calculates that the departing President Obama will be unlikely to intervene in the escalating Syrian conflict and a new American president who might consider a tougher policy will not yet be in office…The next American president will face a new reality and will be forced to accept it.” When the facts are fully established, Putin’s bombing of Aleppo will be viewed as among the modern world’s most egregious war crimes.
I appeal to the people of Russia, Europe, and the rest of the world not to stand idly by, but to spread the word and voice their outrage. An outpouring of public opinion could induce President Putin to put an end to his heinous crimes against humanity.
