PM Netanyahu Re: August 4 2010 Attack
Prime Minister`s statement following recent security events.
“For years many in the international community have remained silent when rockets have been fired at Israeli civilians, and when unprovoked attacks have been launched against our soldiers. Expressions of outrage have largely been reserved for Israel`s response to those attacks. Firing missiles on civilians is a war crime, and unprovoked attacks on soldiers are blatant acts of aggression. Israel expects the international community to condemn such attacks in the strongest possible terms. All those in the international community committed to peace should support Israel`s right to defend itself against those who attack the innocent and seek to destroy peace.”
I think it is appropriate to point out that Mr. Netanyahu is speaking very obvious and simple sense here. This sense really needs to be logically contemplated by everyone who cares about the issue.
The inconsistent evaluation of the Palestinian/Israel conflicts is alarming and an injustice. One misstep from Israel and there is heavy criticism. So be that. Let the same heavy criticism, the same standard, the same expectations be required of the Palestinians.
And let all see clearly that Israel’s right to the Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, West Bank and several other disputed areas is superior to everyone else’s.
