The following is the text of a comment posted last night, in response to the May 18 JCI post entitled “Scenes from Sderot.”
Rick,
When the rockets fall on Israel, I always wonder, where is the outrage? The media is outraged over a theoretical global warming. They are outraged over a racist remark. They are outraged that a prisoner in Guantanamo might not have gotten his choice of cuisine. They weep for disoriented whales in San Francisco Bay.
But when the rockets fall on Israel and the blood flows in the streets and little children hide under their desks in school fearing another attack, the media has no outrage. They just blandly look on, seemingly with the attitude of "More Jews Killed? . . . Ho-Hum. Let’s report on the BIG STORY — Is Jenny going to get back with Brad or not?"
I am one among many Christians that DO TAKE NOTICE, and I do pray frequently for Israel and Jerusalem and for the Jewish people, and so do the other Christians I know. And I vote for leaders who take a public and unflinching stand for Israel.
Kind Regards,
Brother Mel
