UN Springs into Action, Condemns Israel

So when Hamas is firing hundreds of rockets into Israel indiscriminately the UN doesn't lift a finger. But as soon as Israel defends itself from attacks the UN swiftly condemns the actions.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The U.N. Security Council condemned the escalation of violence following Israel's attack on the office of the prime minister of Hamas-ruled Gaza.

The Council adjourned its emergency session early Sunday and issued a statement that calls for all parties to respect their obligations under international law.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he recognized Israel's right to defend itself but accused Israel of "disproportionate and excessive use of force."

There's that phrase again "disproportionate and excessive use of force". So if Israel wants to respond in proportion to Hamas' attacks, it should fire hundreds of rockets indiscriminately into Gaza without any regard for innocent life.

Israeli aircraft sent missiles slamming into Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh's office in Gaza before dawn on Sunday, pressing forward with an offensive that has killed nearly 70 Palestinians in two days of fighting. A 21-month-old girl was among the dead in new violence.

Haniyeh's office was empty at the time of Sunday's airstrike, but the raid was seen as a tough message to the Hamas leadership, which Israel holds responsible for repeated rocket barrages launched from Gaza.
