eumeliaPM to tell Rice: Israel reserves right to act freely in Gaza.
Is he fucking serious?!
I cannot believe this is the actual policy that Olmert is dictating!
Well, it's already quite clear that everyone has gone completely ape-shit.
Uhhhhh... no Israel doesn't have the right to act freely there are a few things that kind if disallow free military acts:
#1 Regard to Human Life - oops, sorry, only Human life in Ashkelon is considered worth worthy of living... my bad, forget about that one.
#2 Proportionate response - Oh, damn, sorry, no such thing as proportionate response from us, because Israel makes sure that only terrorist groups are targeted. Yeah, everyone holding a flag, or rock, or any kind of national symbol... my bad forget about that one.
#3... I'm sure there's a third reason, somewhere.
I like Olmert's response to the criticism:
With all due respect, this operation (whose goal is to stop the missiles firing) should have been done at some point during th past seven years - and certainly not in this scale of destruction towards the Palestinians - if the "Residents in the South" are so important. Because for the past seven years the people of Sderot and the Kibbutzim were left hung out to dry and as soon as Ashkelon (4th largest city in Israel) became a target, an all out slaughter began.
Pull the other one, it may even have a few bells on in with which we can use as a missile alert system.

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will stress to U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at their scheduled meeting in Jerusalem Tuesday evening that Israel reserves the right to act freely in the Gaza Strip against Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups.

I like Olmert's response to the criticism:
In response to criticism from abroad that Israel is using excessive force in Gaza and killing civilians, Olmert said at the meeting: "Israel is defending its residents in the South, and with all due respect, nothing will prevent it from defending them, and no one has a right to preach to us for acting in self-defense."
