Until when?....

This morning the terrorists in Gaza - supported by the local government - launched another rocket into Israel, this time killing a farm worker.
No word from the US administration, or from the Palestinian Authority unambiguously condemning the attack.
On the other hand, the pounding on Israel continues, whether by Obama, Clinton or other White House personnel.
"Israel needs to make gestures", says Clinton. And what about strongly condemning the Palestinians for their incitement? And what about asking the Palestinians for some gestures?
"...the PA leadership has been calling on Palestinians to demonstrate against Israel’s alleged scheme to destroy the mosques on the Temple Mount"
This sort of baseless incitement is a thousand times more dangerous and prone to set the region on fire, and yet, we have heard no strong and public condemnation as we are seeing in the case of the 1600 housing units - where the issue was timing and not the essence - because as we all recall, Netanyahu excluded Jerusalem from the 10-month moratorium, which at the time was accepted and praised by the White House.
The Obama policy towards the Middle East was a failure in its first year, and if it continues this way, it will not recover from this failure.
P.S.- To CNN, a rocket falling in Israel and killing a person is no news - here's the front page of CNN online today (I am also including the image of Fox News online at the same time, where the attack is posted)

200 Christians massacred... just a sideline piece of news...

March 7, 2010, 9:38AM

"JOS, Nigeria — Rioters armed with machetes slaughtered more than 200 people overnight Sunday as religious violence flared anew between Christians and Muslims in central Nigeria, witnesses said. Hundreds of people fled their homes, fearing reprisal attacks.

The bodies of the dead — including many women and children — lined dusty streets in three mostly Christian villages south of the regional capital of Jos, local journalists and a civil rights group said. They said at least 200 bodies had been counted by Sunday afternoon.

In Dogo Nahawa, a village three miles (five kilometers) south of Jos, residents said the dead included a 4-day-old infant. Those who survived claimed their attackers shouted at them in Hausa and Fulani — two local languages used by Muslims."


I am wondering when will the UN request that Judge Golsdtone write a report about this conflict....
