Stepping up a gear
David Carr (London)  Middle East & Islamic

Doubtless co-ordinated with gun-attacks inside Israel, Arab/Al-Qaeda terrorists have also bombed a resort hotel in Kenya.

The death toll from the hotel bombing is now 14 people, 11 Kenyans and 3 Israelis (two children).

Even more ominously, there was a simultaneous rocket attack on an Israeli civilian airliner. Mercifully unsuccessful, but a very worrying development.

Comments

Also worring is the response of the television and radio (both B.B.C. and "independent").

The terrorism means the West must put pressure on Israel to "make peace" (i.e. allow itself to be destroyed) - a classic case of blame the victim.

To judge by the comments there is little difference between Mark Thomas (the C.N.D. hack currently taking the government to court on behalf of Iraq) and the ordinary newscasters - they are already saying much the same thing.

Paul, do you believe that peace is impossible in the Middle East then?
