'An Israeli aircraft has bombed a building of the Hamas-run Executive Force in Gaza, killing at least one person and injuring about 45 others. Israel had threatened a harsh reaction to repeated barrages of Palestinian rockets over the Gaza-Israel border.'
Cognitive dissonance: up until a few days ago, the BBC completely ignored the steady downpour of Kassam rockets onto southern Israel. Couldn't be bothered when its just joooo's being targeted. Interestingly, now that Israel has decided it will start to retaliate, turns out the BBC did notice the rockets all along. I predict that the new slant of BBC stories will be "Israeli attacks on Gaza are totally disproportionate violence against the poor ickle Pali's, who just want to show us their pain". Meanwhile, Isreali's are discussing amongst themselves whether it makes sense to intervene in Gaza, when the Pali's are doing such a great job of killing each other. Many of the sense (as do I) that a full-scale Fatah/Hamas ding dong is weeks, maybe days away. As Monty Python would say, what a senseless waste of human life.
