Oh, look. A news source even more anti-Israel than the AP: The AFP thinks that a truce is holding–but shaky–when one side fires rockets at the other.
Gaza militants on Monday said they were committed to a truce with Israel but the day-old ceasefire appeared shaky as four rockets hit the Jewish state.
Because the truce is only broken when Israeli jets fire missiles at Palestinian terrorists launching rockets.
The discovery raised to 13 the total number of people killed in 36 hours of clashes in and around Gaza, including three militants who died in two air strikes which occurred after the truce was put in place.
Gee, why did those three “militants” die in air strikes?
The rocket fire tailed off early on Sunday after the Egyptian-brokered truce took effect, but overnight five projectiles hit southern Israel, police said, landing in open areas without causing any harm.
Oh. They were firing rockets into Israel. Say, AFP? If one side is firing rockets at the other, THERE IS NO FUCKING TRUCE!
God, I hate the anti-Israel media. AFP, of course, is French–the nation that gave us the al-Dura hoax. They keep on trying to surpass it.
Well, they are committed to a truce, Meryl. You gotta understand these different yet valuable cultures–to us ethnocentric westerners, “truce” means “nobody is shooting.” To these colorful and authentic Arabs, “truce” means “nobody is shooting at us.”
I love multiculturalism.
Actually Alex, I think “truce” is the Arabic word for “reload.”
