US / Israeli Pact

Condoleezza Rice has finally achieved something tangible in Israel, and the US will be hated ever more in the Muslim world for it. She is now the proud architect of a deal to stop arms smuggling into Gaza through the so-called 'Philadelphi Route', which remained in IDF control after the Oslo Accords. The Route has been used by smugglers to transport Iranian supplied missiles and other arms from Egypt, into Hamas' control in Gaza.

As if Arab Muslims and the extremist amongst them needed more fuel for the fire. The phrases "US and Israel Reach Agreement" and "US - Israel Pact" are plastered across the global media, once again putting America in bed with the Hawkish, war-mongering Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert and his associates in the IDF. Israeli authors (see: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1056269.html ) have condemned this offensive as "the most brutal war that Israel has ever fought" and people across the globe are calling for the prosecution of war crimes. Israel is being widely condemned for violating the Geneva Conventions and slaughtering an entrapped civilian population, and instead of joining the chorus of moral voices, we offer our full support and cooperation to the offenders.
