Do What We Say, Not What We Do

I find it very hypocritical the way our government is dealing with Israel. For those of you who have been living in cave (I have been accused of this on occasion), an Israeli soldier and possibly a citizen have been captured by Palestinian terrorists who are demanding that Israel let Palestinian prisoners out of their cells.

Israel in response has gone into Gaza, destroyed some bridges and effectively shut down the power in the Gaza strip. Call it what you will, but Israel is basically at war right now.

So what does this have to do with the US government being hypocritical?

Well, despite the fact that our government repeatedly says, "We don’t negotiate with terrorists." Our government officials are telling Israel that they should try to negotiate with the terrorists.

If the US were to have a soldier taken in Iraq and the captors said let all of your Al Qaeda prisoners go, what would our government do?

Would they:

• A. Live in Peace, let all of Al Qaeda's prisoners go and give them a nice parting gift.


• B. Launch a MASSIVE offensive against them.

It's so funny to me that our government constantly tells Israel to do A, when if we were in Israel's shoes we would be doing B. Our new government motto should be:

Do what we say, not what we do!

Of course, if I were President our motto would be:

Do what we do!

And we would never do A...



Important Notes:

1. It would make sense for US government officials to publicly tell Israel they need to negotiate in order to look like Peace makers to the International community, while behind closed doors telling Israel "Don't negotiate with terrorists."
2. Why didn't I just write the first note in the body of my post?
3. Pray for Peace.
