Israel News : Jerusalem Post Internet Edition

Russia's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday voiced concern about Israeli raids on the Palestinian territories and warned that the "disproportionate" use of force would further fuel confrontation.

A series of Israeli airstrikes killed at least 12 Palestinians and wounded about 100 others in the Gaza Strip on Monday. The military said the raids targeted members of a Palestinian terrorist squad.

The Foreign Ministry's statement offered condolences to the families of the civilian victims of the Israeli strikes.

"The disproportionate use of weapons as well as an exclusive emphasis on force won't bring peace to either the Palestinians, or the Israelis, and they won't stop terror," it said. "Just the opposite, it will trigger another round of confrontation, bring new tragedies and suffering."

The statement urged both Israel and the Palestinians to show political will and fulfill their obligations under a U.S.-sponsored "road map" peace plan for the region.

Russia co-sponsors the Mideast peace process along with the United States, the European Union and the United Nations.

All of which begs the obvious question: How many thousands (or is it tens of thousands?) has Russia killed in Chechnya to date?

Heh. Y'know, I think I saw that NRO article and skimmed past it thinking, "Oh, another article on Reuters bias - ho hum." It's a good one, though. I have tossed it over on the right side-bar.

Its a long read and yeah, you kind of just get to the point of getting numb to their blatant and smartass latent shilling for the PLO, and claiming "unbiasedness".

I read it originally at Littlegreenfootballs. Now that the site is back up I just noticed it again.

Yeah, I'm thinking I noticed it (and skimmed by it) at LGF, too.
