Insignificance of Jewish Lives

Reader comment on item: [U.S. Intelligence: ]"Moslem States Represent a Potential Threat to World Peace"
in response to reader comment: The United States is destroying education and moderation in the Middle East

That bridge that has been burned served another purpose. And that was to allow Hezbollah to fire rockets at Israel, to threaten, to kill and to kidnap Jews. Stopping Hezbollah made burning the bridge worthwhile. I find it rather ironical that everyone sorrows over the destruction of Lebanon, and rightfully so, but nobody sorrowed over the attacks on Israel and the murdering of Jews.

Clearly, the largest educated population, the best universities in the Middle East and the printing of books in Arabic was far more important than protecting the lives of innocent Jews.
