Israeli government declares Gaza enemy entity
Unfortunately however, Condi Rice continues to whitewash the rest of the Islamists:
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel on Wednesday declared the Gaza Strip an "enemy entity" and said it would cut back power and fuel supplies to the Hamas-ruled territory, enraging Palestinians as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice began a peacemaking mission to the region.In that case, how are we supposed to believe beyond this that they intend to take any convincing steps to punish the evildoers? Sorry, but I'm not impressed.
Asked about Israel's declaration, Rice did not criticize it.
"Hamas is a hostile entity to the United States as well," she said at a news conference. "We will not abandon the innocent Palestinians in Gaza, and indeed will make every effort to deal with their humanitarian needs."
Israel did not set a date for a cutback on services, meant to force Palestinian militants in Gaza to halt rocket fire on southern Israel. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office said Israel did not intend to create a humanitarian crisis.
