Time to get real; Israel v. Gaza

Posted by Oliver Renick on January 13, 2009

After seeing an ad in the margin on Facebook for the support of Hamas in Gaza, I was outraged (not surprised) by the fact that even a completely non-political website such as Facebook is accepting advertising from companies selling this anti-Israel clothing. I proceeded to become frustrated when I realized how many people, uneducated of the situation, whether they realize it or not, will be subject to the subliminal messaging of a little sign in the corner of their screen that displays, in a flashy, ‘cool,’ attractive way, to support Hamas in Gaza.

So, in an effort to set things straight, I’ll let a much more qualified person do the talking for me: Charles Krauthammer in his new article on the situation between Israel and Gaza. In case you haven’t already read this very popular article, click here.
