What??? You mean those nice, peace loving, oppressed Palestinians broke another cease fire? And the Strib didn't make it the lead story? But if Israel retaliates we'll see screaming headlines about how Israel is attacking its peaceful neighbors again, won't we?

It is ridiculous to report about this rocket when the Apartheid Regime killed tens of Palestinians in Gaza Strip after the seize fire and not one report holding the Apartheid Regime accountable. The Apartheid Regime killed children playing in playgrounds and fishermen trying to make a living in the Sea of Gaza. It is a miracle that the Palestinians showed all this self-restraint faced with the unprovoked attacks by and the barbarism of the Apartheid Regime. In addition, The Palestinian Teachers and government workers have not been paid for months because the Apartheid Regime is holding the PA Tax revenues in an outright robbery of the Palestinian money. I don't see any reporting on that either. So much for fair and balanced press in this country.

The EU is correct. The United Nations Security Council has held the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories and the settlement building by the Israelis to be illegal. A number of Security Council Resolutions have been issed over the years stating so.
