As long as it was SUPPOSED to kill/wound Israeli civilians, then it's all good.

A stray rocket also struck the West Bank for the first time. The rocket landed near the town of Jenin, between the villages of Fakua and Jalboun, leaving a 2-meter crater. Four casualties were reported; two moderately wounded and two lightly wounded.

"We know that they did not intend to strike Palestinian territory. They intended to strike Israel," said Fahmi Zarer, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party. "It was only a technical problem that made this rocket land here in the Palestinian territories."

1. How many have Israel killed in the West Bank? Hezbollah?

There you have it.

They condsider it an unfortunate incident of friendly fire. Just like we would if a Brit killed one of our guys in Iraq. Why shouldn't they?

And you are shocked by this reaction why?

3. Was hoping that Abbas' spokesman would say something more like

We condemn all attacks on any civilians, be they committed by Hezbollah or Israeli forces.

2. Nominating as a great example of lame pro-Israel propoganda.

When this is the best kind of thing they have in the face of images like this:



you can see how desperate they are.

4. Suddenly intent matters.

Fascinating, how that works.
