For the same reason that the world sits with its thumb up its ass while scores of thousands of Gazans go hungry.

For the same reason as the world has sat on its ass while Palestinians have had all basic human rights systematically denied for 60 years.

For the same reason that a nincompoop senator from NJ writes a congressional resolution to condemn the Kassams while he ignores the systematic destruction of the subjugated society.

Because the world does not regard Palestinians as fully real, fully human human beings. Some consciously, some not -- view Palestinians as subhuman.

It's the thing we pussyfoot around here all the time. Pockets of violent resistance are condemnation-worthy, but the majority of posters here, and fellow citizens in the US and abroad, are quite comfortable with a murderous status quo, that they would NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS ACCEPT FOR THEMSELVES.

That's my theory, anyway.
