After the much reported cease-fire announced for Gaza, a handful of rockets were launched into Israel from Gaza.  Israel decided to give the Palestinians a mulligan.  More rockets were fired today.

Best headline : Despite rocket fire, Gaza cease-fire holds

WTF?!?  How many rockets can the Palestinians fire before it is no longer a cease-fire?    If Israel launched artillery against a Qassam launch site, would that not be a violation of the cease-fire?  Does somebody have to be killed first for the "cease-fire" to be broken?

Jimmy Carter was on Terry Gross' "Fresh Air" this morning saying that Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza is "in many ways more oppressive than the system of apartheid in South Africa".  Sure the Palestinians have committed terrorist acts, but more of them have died in the conflict, so they are innocent!  And the Israelis keep women and children in prison (obviously for no reason whatsoever)!  Gross actually did ask some probing questions, but there was never a follow-up response to Carter's propaganda.  Carter's next book on the subject will probably talk about the "genocide" of the Palestinians.
