Points to ponder

We note that supporters of Palestinian militants often compare their situation to apartheid in South Africa.

We don't recall Nelson Mandela or Stephen Biko sending suicide bombers onto buses full of women and children. And we don't recall barrages of missiles raining down on civilian neighborhoods in Johannesburg or Cape Town from the townships.

One might think the Palestinian plea for sympathy would be more effective if they were a little more like Mandela, Gandhi, or King, and a little less like bin Laden.
