Right Actions, Wrong Reasons

Well, we finally have some prominent Palestinians (including Peter Jennings girlfriend, Ms. Ashrawi) condemning the murderous terror attacks. But even when some of them finally do the right thing, they still can’t do it for the right reason.

Ghassan Khatib, who headed the think tank and was recently named Labor Minister, said the modest decline in support for bombings was due to three reasons: international criticism of the Palestinians, the damage done to the Palestinian image by the bombings, and the consequences for the Palestinians, including Israel’s military responses.

But no decline in support because they’re morally odious? Because it’s evil to deliberately drive nails into babies, often head first?

No, they just think it’s a bad idea because it’s counterproductive, and makes them look bad. What a sick, sick culture.
