Condi pwned by Al Jazeera

Regarding the current week-long Israel Air Force bombing of Gaza, Al Jazeera writes:

Condoleezza Rice, having observed that more than 300 Gazans were dead, said: “We are deeply concerned about the escalating violence. We strongly condemn the attacks on Israel and hold Hamas responsible.”

Someone should ask her to comment on teenage knife-crime, to see if she’d say: “I strongly condemn the people who’ve been stabbed, and until they abandon their practice of wandering around clutching their sides and bleeding, there is no hope for peace.”

The Israeli government suffers terribly from this confusion. They probably have adverts on Israeli television in which a man falls off a ladder and screams, “Eeeeugh”, then a voice says, “Have you caused an accident at work in the last 12 months?” and the bloke who pushed him gets £3,000.

To date, over 400 Gazans have been killed by this operation, the vast majority civilians. Israeli government officials claim this latest "defensive" maneuver is in response to the continuous qassam rocket fire from Gaza, although the number of Israelis killed by qassams in the past five years hovers somewhere between 4 and 18.
