The AP notices palestinians are violating the “cease-fire”

The AP finally noticed (after some 30 rockets launched into Israel) that the palestinians are violating the “cease-fire” agreement.

Palestinians Fire Rocket Into Israel
Palestinian militants fired a rocket into Israel at dawn Thursday, the Israeli military said, a violation of a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.

The rocket landed in Nir Am, a kibbutz near the Gaza border, causing no casualties, the army said. No Palestinian group immediately took responsibility.

Since the Nov. 26 cease-fire took hold in the chaotic coastal territory, Palestinian militants have fired more than 20 rockets at Israel, according to the army’s count, causing no casualties.

But of course, they can’t blame the terrorists without making it look like Israel is also violating the cease-fire.

The cease-fire has also been marred by a string of incidents in which Israeli soldiers have shot Palestinians approaching the heavily guarded Gaza-Israel border. On Wednesday, troops killed a 22-year-old Fatah militant along the border fence. The incidents have not derailed the truce.

Mind you, killing terrorists who are trying to kill soldiers would not be an Israeli violation of the cease-fire, but then, you can’t ask too much of the AP. After all, they have to spin the events to be positive for their pals the pals.

Once again, I point to the dehumanization of Israel. No Israeli spokesman is named, and the nebulous “military” is quoted.

But at least the AP acknowledges that the cease-fire is a joke. Okay, no, they don’t, but they acknowledge it’s been violated.

Once.

Just once.
