Our old buddy Ali Daragmeh, one of those unbiased AP reporters, had this to say about the reason for the violations of the truce by terrorists from Gaza:
Three weeks ago, Israel and Palestinian militants in Hamas-ruled Gaza agreed to a truce. Although the cease-fire is limited to Gaza, confrontations between Israel and Hamas in the West Bank have already provoked Gaza militants to violate the agreement.
Do you understand? It’s Israel’s fault that the terrorists are firing rockets and mortars. Because Israel didn’t violate the truce by acting against Hamas in the West Bank, but by acting against Hamas in the West Bank, they provoked Hamas in Gaza to “retaliate” by violating the truce. Got that? It’s Alice in Wonderland logic.
This is what passes for objective reporting by the Associated Press. And oh yeah—check out the unbiased lead.
Israeli troops in jeeps swooped down on the West Bank town of Nablus early Monday, shutting down a girls’ school, a medical center and two other facilities of a Hamas-affiliated charity, witnesses said.
Just in case you hadn’t gotten the point. And yes, this is what constitutes Israeli “provocation” to break the truce. Israel arrests terrorists and siezes property. That means Hamas is “provoked” into responding by trying to murder Israelis.
Yep. That unbiased media. Gotta love it.

Swooping is far more exciting than ambling over, but not as cool as sashaying.
