Lieberman blasts Ashton
One of the first official reactions to European foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton's outrageous comparison of the murders in Toulouse to the deaths of 'Palestinian' children in Gaza comes from Israel's Foreign Minister, Avigdor Lieberman, who is actually several time zones ahead in China right now. Lieberman, who is on official visit to China, said he "hopes Ashton will retract her statement."Indeed.
"Israel is the most moral country in the world and despite the fact that it has to fight terrorist who operate from within civilian population, the IDF makes every effort possible not to harm that population, despite their defense of the terrorists.
"No army is as ethical as the Israeli army," he continued. "The IDF risks its soldiers' lives in order to minimize risk to civilian population. The children Ashton should be worried about are those living in southern Israel, who are in constant fear of Gaza rocket fire."
And even if we weren't the most moral army in the world, and even if we didn't risk soldiers' lives to minimize risks to the civilian population, there's a world of difference between children whose parents are bringing them to school and children whose parents intentionally put them in harm's way.
