    Default Dozens of Palestinians Killed when Fighter Jet Fires on Mosque. NGOs Condemn Attack

    Oh, wait. It was the Syrian Government attacking the Palestinian Arab refugee camp in Syria.

    Scratch the NGO (and world) outrage...

    At least one rocket from a Syrian air force jet has killed and wounded dozens of Palestinians in the largest refugee camp in Damascus, sending thousands of residents fleeing for other areas of the capital now wracked by civil war.

    Sunday's attack is believed to be the first strike against the Yarmouk camp by an air force jet, the most potent weapon used so far by the regime in its defence of the capital. The rocket hit a mosque near the centre of the camp, killing at least 25 people, Reuters reports. There was panic in the area near the mosque. Videos posted online showed the dead and injured being collected by residents.

    It's too bad Syria is not sitting on huge reserves of oil. If that were the case then our outrage would assuredly be backed up by some action. Probably even a ground invasion by a Coalition of the Willing.

    But, alas.
