"Then there's the issue of "homicide bombers" versus the guys shooting missiles, at not great personal risk , but that's another neologist argument"

Or "Guns for the arabs, sneakers for the jews", another neologist argument i am sure. That used to be the implicit view of the State Dept folks, who thought Israel to be such a pain in their world view, that they proposed this in jest. Now the Hamas view of Jews in the sea, is a serious problem for Jews on the ground. I think even the great Win would be firing his missiles if his family was threatened with dare i say, genocide. mike

I sort of recall a rather impressive mosque massacre in there someplace, but I imagine that was Somebody Else's Fault, too.

Okay, you got two - Baruch Goldstein. We can tick off Deir Yassin while we're at it. I've hear about all of them over and over and over and over.

Care to name another?

Meanwhile, if Hamas doesn't blow up a bus every day, it's not for want of trying. Would it be too much to say that is actually Hamas' fault? or do they get an automatic pass under Win's 'Somebody Else's Fault' scheme?
