[The Humanitarian West's preeminent military client
state, Israel, whose complete political spectrum -
excepting its Hadash, Communist, bloc in the Knesset -
fell all over itself three and and a half year ago
urging a full-fledged armed ground invasion of
Yugoslavia on behalf of *Kosovar* Albanians, a plea
echoed faithfully by its friends in both houses of the
US Congress, seems to adopt a different tack when it
comes to Ha'aretz itself.
Are we to assume that the *precision-guided* missile
launched from a US-provided attack attack helicopter
was somehow equipped to differentiate between a
Christian and a Muslim Palestinian child, a girl
inclined toward support of Islamic Jihad and a boy who
wasn't?
The monstrous duplicity reeks to high heaven. The dead
are the lucky ones - they don't have to put up any
longer with the soul-deadening hypocrisy of
imperialism.]

Russia criticizes IDF raid as 'clearly
disproportionate'

By Associated Press


Russia's Foreign Ministry Monday criticized Israel for
its raid on a Palestinian neighborhood in the Gaza
Strip, and offered sympathy to the families of the 12
victims and the more than 100 wounded. 
"Although Israel justified its conduct by the
Palestinian shooting at a Jewish village in Gaza, the
scale of the operation, in particular the use of tanks
and aviation in a highly-populated region, was clearly
disproportionate," the Russian Foreign Ministry said
in a statement. 
The attack on Khan Yunis, which happened early Monday,
was the deadliest Israeli military strike in three
months. In one incident, a helicopter fired a missile
into a crowd, killing eight people. 
The Russian Foreign Ministry said it presented its
"deepest condolences to the families of the dead 
Palestinians and sympathy to the wounded."Russia
reaffirmed that it abhors violence in all forms
against Israelis, but added that it is equally
"impossible to justify massive military operations
which lead to deaths among peaceful residents." 
The Foreign Ministry again urged both sides to refrain
from activities that further destabilize the
situation. It said that the only way out of the crisis
was to resolve the question of security for both sides
through dialogue and steps that allow the Palestinians
to ensure order in their territory, including the
effective fight against extremism. 
Russia is part of the Quartet of Middle East
peacemakers, along with the United States, the
European Union and the United Nations.
