What's happening: Israel is following the advice of Martha's Vineyard blogger Barack Obama, who urged them to pursue "a strategy that can incapacitate Hamas while minimizing further civilian casualties," which is identical to the strategy of U.S.-led coalition forces in the campaign to eradicate Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists in Syria.
• There has been an outpouring of support—within the United States and around the world—for the Hamas terrorists who murdered more than 1,400 Jews in Israel on October 7. When the Jewish state retaliated, it was hysterically condemned by the same people for (among other things) destroying a hospital that was actually lightly damaged by a rocket fired from Gaza.
• For some reason, even the most deranged sickos on Ivy League campuses did not rush to embrace the ISIS "militants" who murdered and beheaded innocent civilians and cheer them on for their efforts to "decolonize" the Middle East. Western governments were not widely denounced in the media for seeking to destroy ISIS in their home base of Syria.
Take the quiz: Waging war against evil scumbags is messy, especially when those evil scumbags "intentionally hide among civilians, thereby endangering the very people they claim to represent," in the words of the esteemed Martha's Vineyard blogger. Some of these photos show Raqqa and other Syrian cities targeted by coalition airstrikes against ISIS, while others show the effects of Israeli airstrikes in Gaza against Hamas. Can you tell the difference?
