Consolidation: it’s how I roll at 12:30 a.m.
Israel moved closer to invading the Gaza Strip, saying Thursday that it had wrapped up preparations for a broad offensive after Palestinian fighters fired about 100 rockets and mortar shells across the border in two days.
This, I’m sure, catches nobody by surprise. Hamas has called off the alleged ceasefire, the rocket launches have increased, so Israel has to act. Unfortunately, Israel will be viewed as the aggressor and most likely condemned by the UN yet again.
Speaking of the UN:
Israel buckled to international pressure on Friday and opened the Gaza crossings to enable the United Nations to deliver food to the poor. However, it could have done so days ago but refused to ship rice, cooking oil and powdered milk because of the lack of flour.
I guess, according to the UN, you can’t cook anything without flour. Whoever is running the United Nations Relief and Works Agency obviously needs some cooking lessons.
