Bush: Destroy Shuls

If another reminder that Israel faces a barbaric enemy was necessary, the destruction last night and today by Palestinians of the abandoned synagogues in Gaza serves that purpose.

Following the Israeli cabinet vote to leave the synagogue structures standing and to demand that the PA ensure that the synagogues are not desecrated, those who continue to insist that George W. Bush is Israel's close friend might have expected his government to have joined the call on the PA to guard these Jewish holy places.

Instead, as the AP reports, State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the Israeli decision not to destroy the shuls "puts the Palestinian Authority into a situation where it may be criticized for whatever it does."

McCormack's disgraceful words eliminated any small chance that the PA would feel some international pressure to keep the shuls standing, and ensured their immediate destruction.

It's nice to know what the government of our deeply religious Christian president feels about Jewish places of worship.
