Re: Sad and shortlived Palestinian rule in Gaza:
You sound as if there are no adults present. You sound as if the Palestinians are children that have to be excused because they are immature and stupid. It’s not just electing Hamas. It is shooting thousands of rockets at a vastly superior military force. How frikkin’ stupid is that? It’s as if a few rockets just need to be overlooked.
But don’t worry, it’s just not you. Kofi is apparently an idiot also:
Yedioth Ahronoth : A diplomatic crisis erupted between Israel and UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan who demanded an investigation into the incident in which a Palestinian family was killed on the Gaza beach. UN diplomatic sources said that Annan called Prime Minister Olmert on Saturday night and asked that Israel respond proportionately to the fire from Gaza and in accordance with international law. This angered Olmert, who said : “Is the firing of hundreds of Kassam rockets in accordance with international law ? Why didn’t you phone me after 30 rockets were fired at Israel and say you wanted this investigated ?”
Annan replied that he was not aware of this. Annan’s answer was met with astonishment in the political and security establishment.
The Foreign Ministry decided that from now on the Israeli delegation in the UN would give the UN secretary general and the duty president of the UN Security Council a daily update on the Kassam rocket count in Israel. In the last three days there were 69 Kassam rockets.
