But then again, it IS the BBC.
The low-level war between Israel and the militant Hamas group in the Gaza Strip has flared into a new upsurge of violence with Israeli strikes on Palestinian militants being met by a barrage of rockets fired into southern Israel.
Responding to this latest fighting Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who is on a visit to Japan, offered his citizens little hope of an early end to the rocket attacks.
Ahh, so the rocket attacks are because of Israel’s “strikes” into Gaza? Well, actually no, but I’m sure that is how the BBC sees it.
The worst part of all this is that then you get mainstream leftosphere blogs compounding the ignorance by writing schlock like this and linking to Al Jazeera videos.
Oh, and the obligatory blaming of the violence in Israel on America.
“We’ve often noted that US tactics in Iraq have mirrored the Israeli military’s tactics and this weekend we again see the disaster this approach creates. Collective punishment of the residents of Gaza is not so different and no less illegal than the ongoing killing of civilians by US forces in Iraq.”
Gawd, that shit is so retarded, it causes me physical pain to read it. Whether it’s on a personal or national level, Self-defense is self-defense!
it ain’t that hard of a concept.
