Bulldozer in Jerusalem

Oh, did you hear the wailing and gnashing of Israeli teeth when an angry, frustrated Israeli Arab got into a bulldozer and barreled down streets in Jerusalem? In the end, two dead, many injured, and the man shot 5 times and killed. Shock and indignation. Yet, what about the long list of Palestinian dead or destroyed homes and uprooted olive groves which Israel has systematically carried out with a BULLDOZER. Where was the out cry then? The bulldozer is a weapon against Arabs in Israel and the occupied territory and Gaza. It's as plain as the nose on your face that we're dealing with a double standard here. Sympathy is overwhelmingly on Israel's side, although it is the agresser; not on the victims who are Palestinian or Israeli Arab. The shoe pinches when Israel gets a dose of its own medicine, doesn't it? And what's more telling with all its power and wealth and sympathy globally Israel is more insecure than anytime in its history.
