The first thing I read this morning while perusing last night’s news on the Moronosphere BlogNetNews<\/a> was a post at The Jawa Report<\/a> about rockets striking Israel from Lebanon.<\/p>\n

The Washington Times<\/a> confirms the attack from Lebanon;<\/p>\n

Lebanese militants fired barrages of rockets into northern Israel early Thursday, striking a nursing home and threatening to open a second front for the Jewish state as it pushed forward with its offensive in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n

Two people were injured, and the rockets on Israel’s north raised the specter of renewed hostilities with Hezbollah, just 2 years after Israel battled the guerrilla group to a 34-day stalemate. Hezbollah started the 2006 war as Israel was battling Palestinian militants in Gaza.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A nursing home? Shouldn’t that piss of the international community? I mean, really. Well, in the Washington Post<\/a>, Jimmy Carter is explaining how easily Israel could’ve avoided the whole Gaza thing;<\/p>\n

Hamas leaders also agreed to accept any peace agreement that might be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who also heads the PLO, provided it was approved by a majority vote of Palestinians in a referendum or by an elected unity government.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

After about a month, the Egyptians and Hamas informed us that all military action by both sides and all rocket firing would stop on June 19, for a period of six months, and that humanitarian supplies would be restored to the normal level that had existed before Israel’s withdrawal in 2005 (about 700 trucks daily).<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

And this fragile truce was partially broken on Nov. 4, when Israel launched an attack in Gaza to destroy a defensive tunnel being dug by Hamas inside the wall that encloses Gaza.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A “defensive tunnel”? The tunnel was dug so Hamas could kidnap Israeli soldiers and that’s a defensive tunnel? Good old Jimmy Carter the world’s most famous anti-Semite. On the up-side, as long as he’s writing for the Post, he’s not building death-traps for Habitat for Humanity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In another article in the Post<\/a>, the Red Cross accuses Israel of starving children;<\/p>\n

The International Committee of the Red Cross said Thursday that it had found at least 15 bodies and several children — emaciated but alive — in a row of shattered houses in the Gaza Strip and accused the Israeli military of preventing ambulances from reaching the site for four days.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emaciated? After four days? I think if anyone was emaciated, their starvation started long before the response by Israel. Well, Michelle Malkin writes that Joe the Plumber<\/a> is enroute to Gaza<\/a>, so maybe he can us the straight answer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
