Hosni Mubarak says he’s impotent. Oh, no, wait. He says it’s the UN on Lebanon. I think it’s projection, myself.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said on Monday the UN Security Council had revealed its impotence in its response to Israel’s conflict with Hizbullah, and again called for an immediate ceasefire.
The IAF stopped its rockets, but Hezbullah didn’t.
On the southern front: A terror attack on Haifa was foiled. Khaled Mashaal, who also needs a Hellfire enema, says that Cpl. Gilad Shalit (remember him?) is still in Gaza.
Still in Gaza: Abducted IDF soldier Gilad Shalit is still in the Gaza Strip, Hamas Politburo Chief Khaled Mashaal said in an interview with Egyptian Weekly al-Aharam al-Arabi published Saturday.
In the interview, Mashaal claimed he did not order the abduction and admitted Hamas members were unable to smuggle Shalit out of the Strip, dispelling rumors to the contrary.
He also admitted publicly that Shalit is a POW, so Red Cross, go get ‘im.
However, Mashaal stressed that the Palestinian people had the “right…to exchange the soldier, which was captured in a military campaign.”
“He is a prisoner of war and therefore we must exchange him – this is the Palestinian people’s right,” the Hamas leader said.
So Hamas not letting the Red Cross see him is committing a war crime. They’ve admitted it. Go ahead, human rights people. Let’s hear the uproar. Oh, right. Uproar is only for perceived Israeli violations.
Kassams are still slamming into Israel. And Ha’aretz is still calling terrorists “militants.”
Earlier on Monday, militants in Gaza fired a barrage of five Qassam rockets at communities in the western Negev.
One of the rockets slammed into the roof of the kibbutz dining hall, causing damage but no casualties.
Funny, but the world doesn’t seem to notice at all when Israeli civilians are hit by palestinian or Hezbullah rocket fire. It’s only when Israel hits civilians that the world gets upset.
Why is that, I wonder?
Actually, yes, that was a rhetorical question. The world likes seeing dead Jews. There is no other explanation.
Sure do a prisoner exchange for Cpl. Shalit. One Hamas corporal for Shalit, who is one man after all, not several thousand. The Hamas “soldier” must be one captured in uniform and fighting openly, not a terrorist attenpting to attack civilians by clandestine means. I doubt there are any candidates.
