When appeasement becomes racism

The US implements the Geneva Conventions which do not require armies to protect human shields.  In Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia, the results have been devastating.  But the world quietly applies the international standard, as long as the attacker is "one of us." Palestinians, "the lesser," are not up to these international ethical norms.  Using human shields and murdering civilians are minor faults which cannot be allowed to distract the flow of international aid. Israel, "the other," must respect the human shields who deliberately hide terrorists and their weapons.
