It’s amazing, isn’t it, how if the IDF even looks at a Palestinian, it’s a violation of the “truce,” but Hamas can outright say they’re breaking the truce, and then a few hours later say “Well, not really,” and everyone pretends they believe them this time.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, speaking in Rome after meeting with Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi, said the rocket attacks were a “one-time violation of the truce.”
He called on Israel to show restraint in order to avoid a “deterioration” in the region.”
Italian Foreign Minister Massimo D’Alema said that Rome was concerned about the renewed rocket attacks, and called on Abbas to adhere to the principles set by International Quartet – especially the recognition of Israel.
Earlier in the day, a spokesman for Hamas’s armed wing said the group considered the truce over.
You see? Everyone knows the Palestinians are lying, they’ve seen it happen over and over again, and yet, they all pretend that the Palestinians mean it when they say they’re “keeping” the faux truce. The effing AP won’t even acknowledge that the rocket attacks were a truce violation. Look at this lame excuse for a news report:
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Wednesday authorized the army to carry out limited operations in the Gaza Strip, but ruled out a large-scale ground offensive in response to a new round of rocket attacks, Israeli officials said.
The decision was made at an emergency meeting that Olmert held with senior security officials following the fresh rocket fire by Hamas militants in Gaza. The violence has threatened to unravel a five-month cease-fire.
Even Hamas says the cease-fire is over, but not the AP.
I’m sorry, but my cup of outrage is so far overflowed that I can barely garner a raised eyebrow for all of this. It is simply breathtaking anti-Israel bias, and yet, it now seems so normal to me… that must be the result of five years of reading crap like this. Oh, for the days when I knew that Israel was always being screwed, but didn’t pay attention to the media bias because I didn’t like to read the news.
The Palestinians want a do-over, all right… a do-over of the Six Day War, only with Israel restrained by the UN from launching the critical first strike that led to its victory.
And the media wants to play Don King to that fight. After all, Israel beat the entire Arab world once before… surely they can do it again while pinned to the mat in a straightjacket of “international law,” just to make sure it’s fair! It’s on TV, so it’s not like anyone important will get killed! Just another five million Jews, not even as many as died in the Holocaust.
Get your guns ready, Israel, because Armageddon is coming… if not in the form of an Iranian nuke, then in the form of a thousand powder-blue helmets with microphones clipped to them.
Shows us clearly that they are either dumber than a box of rocks or they think everyone else is.
Why not hold a parade and invite Abbas to ride on the lead bulldozer?
