GERMANY DEFENDS THE JEWS
Germany? That's appropriate, considering their history - let's pray that stake a hard stand on this at the UN.
Germany defends Israeli military action in Gaza (hat tip Aug)
Berlin - Germany on Monday defended Israel's military action in Gaza, saying it was taken to protect the country's civilian population from missile attacks by Palestinian militants.
The decision by the radical Hamas movement to end a six-month truce with Israel and continue firing rockets at the Jewish state was to blame for the crisis, government spokesman Thomas Steg said.
'It is the legitimate right of Israel to protect its civilian population and to defend its territory,' Steg told a press briefing in Berlin.
He called on Hamas to cease firing Kassem rockets and mortar shells at Israeli towns and villages immediately so that Israel can end its military operation.
