The Insanity Continues
In Sderot, 36 year old Oshri Oz was killed this morning after a rocket landed near his car. Wounded in the neck by shrapnel, he lost control of the vehicle, crashed into a wall and staggered into the street before collapsing. He died on the way to the hospital, leaving behind his pregnant wife and a 2-year-old daughter.
In retaliation, the IDF dropped a few bombs on Gaza this week, killing a few innocent terrorists before they could shoot a few rockets into Israel and to the dismay of the U.S. State Department, arrested a few hammasshole politicians.
"Arrests are better than shooting," said Israel's Defense MinisterAmir Peretz, as rockets continue to rain down on Israeli civilians.
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said the arrests were a blow to peace efforts, as his al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade claimed responsibility for another terror attack in Jerusalem over the weekend.
and a spokesman for PA Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh demanded the immediate release of the detainees and called on the UN and European Union to impose sanctions on Israel, while the BBC journalists redefine the definition of "several" in reporting of the IDF strike on Gaza:
"Israel resumed airstrikes on Gaza on Tuesday after a six-month lull. It followed several rocket attacks on Israel."
The "six month lull" refers to a lull in Israel's "attacks" on Gaza, and not the firing of rockets into Israel, which occurs on daily basis, but you wouldn't know that from reading the BBC article; and, considering that a total of 22 rockets landed in or near Sderot just this weekend and a total of 170 rockets just this week, "several" seems a bit understated to me, but then, we are talking about Israel, aren't we?
Israel, where terrorists are freedom fighters supported and protected by the United States of America as its citizens turn a blind eye.
