"In fact the only hint that there might be something substantive behind Israel’s actions (besides being plain mean-spirited) was the vague admission that “Israel has the right and obligation to protect its citizens” - without any direct mention of what Israel might need to protect her citizens from!
But the BBC is nothing if not even-handed. To counterbalance each stanza of the NGO report’s quoted accusations, the author offered the weak refrain “Israel says the measures are designed to stamp out frequent rocket fire by Palestinian militants”, as if the thousands of rockets that have been fired from Gaza were some sort of unconfirmed rumor."
Read the whole post to understand the kind of doublethink that Israel is facing.
