File under: Hamas

#1 Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Friday that Israel will strike against Gaza militants again if necessary.

Um, we knew that already Barak (and we hope you're not kidding)... why don't you move the narrative along on this:

Nearly 1,300 Palestinians were killed in the fighting, about half of them civilians, according to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights.

Instead of letting the Palestinian freakin' Center for Human Rights own the theme of civilian casualties, why not make some news by beginning every press discussion with:

"It's unfortunate that Hamas continues to hide behind the skirts and short pants of Palestinian women and children in order to cause civilian casualties."

"Clearly Hamas is the enemy of both the Israeli and Palestinian peoples... "

Say it until it sticks. Hey it worked for Cato the Elder.
