I see this was picked up by Charles last night, but it really can't be emphasized enough.
Militants re-arm under cover of Israel truce
THE head of Islamic Jihad in the Gaza strip has admitted the militant group is using an ongoing truce with the Israeli military to re-arm, heightening fears of an explosion of bloodshed when the ceasefire comes to an end next month.
In an exclusive interview with Scotland on Sunday, Mohammed al-Hindi warned that militant Palestinian groups are preparing for confrontations in the wake of Israeli military operations that could even lead to the collapse of the fragile truce ahead of next month’s deadline.
Al-Hindi said: "It is natural that we strengthen ourselves during hudna [the three-month ceasefire declared by Palestinian groups in June]."
Now, this isn't a surprise. Any number of the blogs listed over there to the right, as well as numerous other commentators, politicians, Israeli military spokesmen and advocacy groups have been making this point repeatedly since before the hudna was even declared.
Is it even news that these murderers are now so cocky, so sure that they're accountable to no one, that they don't hesitate to brag about it? And why should they? The message is clear. There are to be no consequences for their actions. There are no real palestinian obligations under the 'Roadmap.' There is no limit to how far the UN, the EU and, it's beginning to appear, even the US will bend over to accomodate these terrorists and their apologists in politicians' clothing.
In the blind quest for "peace in the Middle East," the sky and the sea are the limits. When the last Jew is blown to high heaven or drowned in the Mediterranean, the peace of the 'Roadmap' will come. Maybe. But not one moment sooner.
