Well Said

Postby Mr. T » Thu Jan 01, 2009 9:40 pm

The following is a quote from today's internet edition of the Cyprus Mail.

'Christofias touched on Israel’s assault on Gaza, saying Israel was “pushing the limits of genocide” in murdering women and children indiscriminately.

“The people of Cyprus express their solidarity and support for the Palestinian people,” he said.

“We condemn the bombing and the disproportionate violence and urge the government of Israel to end the carnage and revive the peace process to reach a fair and mutually acceptable solution that would ensure interests of both the Palestinian and Israeli people.” '

It is good to see the president of the southern part of Cyprus say what probably the majority of Europeans agree with but whose governments seem unwilling to say for their respective peoples.

I know this is going to sound vague but on the news yesterday a spokes for the USA made a big mistake in saying "We" when referring to the bombing. "We will not stop the bombing until they stop the rockets" he said. and then stuttered his way to saying " That is to say Isreal...stutter stutter stutter"!!!!! Did any one see it and knows who the man was????

Missed that one zan, although I watch news channels continuously. Must have been one of Bush's blokes.

Problem is will Obama be any different?

Let's hope so.

Trying to find it on Youtube but don't think I will.....The BBC would have already been told to pull it.

Heres what they think about what you asked though:

That could be a good sign, these buggers say anything to get elected, then ignore whatever they said!

Hammas fired over 300 rockets into Israel over a period of 3 days and given warnings to stop before any show of retaliation....how long were they supposed to wait before doing anything about it? If someone came up to you and repeatedly punched you in the face, how long would it be before you picked him up and threw him through the window!!
Dont get me wrong i hate the killing of innocent civillians but civillians are bound to get caught up in it when rocket launchers are placed near to and sometimes in residential areas basically trying to use there own people as human sheilds....scandalous!!
