When is someone going to hold Israel accountable?
Compare these two articles; Israel attacks Palestinian PM's office and Air strike targets Palestinian PM's office. Apart from having to dig to find the second one (all I could find on smh.com.au was news about Big Brother "sexual assault evictions" and more Channel Nine irrelevancies) I prefer the former. At least it has some guts to it.
From the aljazeera.net article:
When asked about any possible Israeli assassination of the Gaza-based Hamas prime minister, Benjamin Ben-Eliezer, the Israeli infrastructure minister, said: "We make no distinction between terrorists. No one involved in terrorism has any immunity"
Is anyone else uncomfortable with how many governments are now bandying about the "terrorist" label? Does anyone else see the irony in labelling some person/group a terrorist and then using it as justification to fly missiles into the elected governments ministry buildings?
What does the rest of the world think about this? All reporting I've seen on this in Australia is mere fence-sitting. There are no value judgements being thrown around. There is no word from the government on the issue. There are no overt condemnations either way, just brittle and meaningless labels being thrown around.

"Israel's bombing of Gaza's main power plant could end up costing its closest ally, the US government, because it partly insured the project for up to $48 million, officials involved in the project said on Saturday."
Quite funny :)
