After days of fighting with Hamas in Gaza, we shouldn’t be surprised that the mainstream media and the United Nations are primarily critical of Israel, almost entirely ignoring the terrorists who started this latest round in the ongoing Palestinian saga. The focus is entirely on civilian casualties, the latest coming from a school which received Israeli mortar fire after terrorists fired rockets from its grounds. The rub is that the school is run by the U.N., which is crying foul since,

all U.N. facilities are clearly marked with flags and that the Israeli military has been given precise Global Positioning System coordinates.

Yes, but what response is expected from the Israeli military when its soldiers come under rocket fire?
