"Israel Confirms Hamas Funded Kidnapping"
No - Israel claims that to be the case - I think you'll find that "interrogation" is referred to as "special rendition" nowadays.
I watched an discussion on Irish television last night where three media people discussed the reportage of the Gaza bloodbath.
They were all stunned by the tidal-wave of condemnation of Israeli behaviour coming from the on-the-spot reporters and their interviewees - doctors, aid workers, neutral observers, victims.... all universally describing the events as unacceptable.
They ended the programme by saying that the Israelis were aware of overwhelming condemnation and just didn't give a fuck.
It's difficult to see how our brown-nosing politicians will talk their way out of this one - no doubt they will try.
So far we have had one Conservative Minister saying it would be "wrong to condemn Israel because it would endanger peace negotiations".
America condemned the shelling of hospitals and shelters, but continued to sell Israel the weaponry to do it.
Politicians eh - but they must be right because Keith trusts them and says their word over-rides those of Human Rights organisations.
