Israel Vows to Attack Gaza Until Rockets Subside

Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel said Sunday that the military would not halt its offensive in the northern Gaza Strip until Palestinian rocket fire toward Israel was significantly reduced.

Good. But not good enough. What he should have said is that the military would not halt its offensive...until Palestinian rocket fire toward Israel was completely eliminated.

"I urge members of the international community to take the appropriate response to Israel's crimes in Gaza," said Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian negotiator. "Condemnation is the least one would expect."

I find it humorous how this guy can continue to make statements like this with complete seriousness (so Israel is committing a crime by trying to prevent you from firing rockets onto Israeli cities? When you could stop the IDF at any time by just stopping the rockets and using that money to produce something positive!?!), and the world keeps taking him and his ilk seriously.
