| Under the proportionality doctrine that we keep hearing about, the Israelis should be allowed to behead at least half of them, surely? ISRAEL will allow Palestinians wounded during its 22-day-old war on Hamas to enter the Jewish state for treatment, according to a government statement. "Within the framework of the humanitarian effort coordinated by the Government, an intensive care unit will be open tomorrow at the Erez crossing to treat injured Gaza residents," said a statement from the office of Welfare Minister Isaac Herzog. "Under the agreements reached between Minister Herzog and the Red Cross, injured Gazans will be transported to hospitals in the country according to their medical condition," it said. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was expected to announce a unilateral ceasefire in the Gaza war later today. |
