Oh the irony!

Even PETA is getting involved - on behalf of donkeys. And like everyone else, PETA sees moral equivalency all around.

Letter to Arafat:

Your Excellency:

I am writing from an organization dedicated to fighting animal abuse around the world. We have received many calls and letters from people shocked at the bombing in Jerusalem on January 26 in which a donkey, laden with explosives, was intentionally blown up.

All nations behave abominably in many ways when they are fighting their enemies, and animals are always caught in the crossfire. The U.S. Army abandoned thousands of loyal service dogs in Vietnam. Al-Qaeda and the British government have both used animals in hideously cruel biological weaponry tests. We watched on television as stray cats in your own compound fled as best they could from the Israeli bulldozers.

Yes. The poor cats had to flee from the bulldozers, or else. This is beyond any parody. Beyond words. But good for a laugh.
