We're all well aware of the double standards much of the applies to the Middle East and Israel. What's ok for those "barbaric Arab countries" to do is evil if the Israelis do it. If Israel takes territory in a defensive war, they are evil imperialists. If someone threatens to destroy Israel, they do not really mean it, we just need to "understand."

All of this made me even more angry when I read this. To sum up, Condi Rice brokered a deal last month in which the Palestinians would man the Rafah crossing instead of Israeli soldiers, and the whole operation would be observed by E.U. officials. Well big surprise, the Palestinians started getting violent, so the E.U. people, despite calling Palestinians people who just want peace, fled to the Israeli army for protection.

Oh yeah. I should mention that the Palestinians causing the problems are on their police force!!!
