Stupidity Of Siding With Palestinians

Kate Burton is a 25-year-old Scot with a British international law degree and a heart for the Palestinians. She has spent the last four months working at the al-Mezan Palestinian human rights organization in Gaza and was planning to spend another six months or so at the job.

That is until she, her mom and her dad were kidnapped by Palestinians Wednesday in Gaza, after visiting Bethlehem.

This incident, like so many others, shows that Palestine has a long, long way to go before it gains any ligitimacy as a nation. Its longest journey will be the moral one, as it is a nation built on the principle that terrorism is honorable, that Israel is wholely responsible for their plight, and that victimhood is a virtue.

Pity the Burtons gave them a chance. Let's hope and pray it's reciprocated ... against all odds.
