Bad

The International Red Cross usually goes out of its way to be too criticize unless absolutely necessary (for example they finally reached that point about GITMO) and this is disturbing:

The International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday that it had found at least 15 bodies and several children -- emaciated but alive -- in a row of shattered houses in the Gaza Strip and accused the Israeli military of preventing ambulances from reaching the site for four days.

And that is not necessarily the worst of it at all.

Now, there's no question that Hamas is no victim in this conflict, but the way so many folks bend over backwards to defend Israel's extremist (and Israel is NOT of one mind on the Gaza issue at all, though you'd think so from the coverage and the bleatings of the "they can do no wrong" and "the other side are like the Nazis" crowd) is inexcusable. Extremist on extremist action has been the rule these last eight years and look where it has gotten us?

And I don't give a shit who started it.
