Germans back Israelis after Gaza fighting flares
2011-03-23
[Ma'an] Germany voiced support Tuesday for Israel after a flare-up of fighting with Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, bully boyz the previous day.

"We condemn the massive missile bombardment of Israel from the Gazoo Strip in the strongest terms. We demand that Hamas cease such acts of violence immediately," said Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle at a Berlin news conference.

"Israel has the right to protect its citizens against terrorist activities like this. A new spiral of violence must be prevented at all costs."

Israeli military jets carried out a series of Arclight airstrikes Monday night against the armed wing of the Islamic Hamas movement. The raids were retaliation for mortar and homemade rocket attacks by Hamas gunnies on Israeli communities in southern Israel.

#1  Good. However, I doubt this is based on principle. Germany's position on just about anything is mainly to irritate the French.
