A bad case of whiplash

That's what I got, anyway, when I read this news item (thanks to Smooth Stone). Amnesty International has actually admitted that Hamas security forces and armed militias have killed more than two dozen of their Palestinian opponents since December 27.

The attacks include abductions, shootings, and death threats; scores have been knee-capped, beaten or tortured. The Hamas action began on December 27 - in other words, under cover of the Israeli attack - and has continued after the January 18 ceasefire.

So, does anybody expect mass rallies in European capitals, New York or San Francisco, to protest these deadly attacks? OK, OK, I just felt like making a point...remember, if I'm a little touchy, it's because of pain from the whiplash.
