British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw adds another comment to a long list of European apologies for Palestinian terror, by expressing his “regret” that Israel won’t allow PA leadership to travel to London for a conference.
Straw deplored Sunday’s double suicide bombing which left 22 dead in Tel Aviv, but he appeared to suggest that such violence was understandable, even justifiable, in the absence of movement toward a political settlement.
“The 6 million people who live in Israel and the 3.5 million people who live in Palestine, in the occupied territories, can only live in peace if they are going to have a future,” he told the BBC on Monday.
Straw seemed particularly displeased that he had not been told in advance of Israel s decision to prevent the Palestinians from traveling to London, noting that he had only learnt of the decision on a BBC news program.
Just more of the same moral blindness. You’d think I’d be used to it by now.
