TERROR IN LONDON AND HYPOCRISY

From London to Jerusalem - Tom Gross
Last Friday, British police shot dead a dark-complexioned man - a Brazilian Catholic - on a train at Stockwell Tube station in south London. Witnesses said the man was already lying on the ground motionless, having tripped, when British police pumped five bullets into his head at close range. Contrary to the absolute lies told in British media in recent days, the Israel Defense Forces have not instituted a shoot-to-kill policy, or trained the British to carry out one. Had Israeli police shot dead an innocent foreigner on one of its buses or trains, confirming the kill with a barrage of bullets at close range in a mistaken effort to thwart a bombing, the UN would probably have been sitting in emergency session by late afternoon to unanimously denounce the Jewish state.

British Diplomats Push Annan for a "No Excuses" Definition of Terrorism - Charles Laurence
British diplomats are putting heavy pressure on the UN finally to make good its promise to devise an unequivocal definition and condemnation of terrorism. International efforts to write a global anti-terror treaty have been at an impasse since 1996 as member states wrangle over the definition of terrorism. The legal committee will hold a fresh round of informal negotiations this week to move the pact forward. (Telegraph-UK)

I'M SURE THE PROPOSED BRITISH DEFINITION GOES SOMETHING LIKE THIS: "TERRORISM IS WHEN SOMEONE KILLS A (NON-JEWISH) BRITISH CIVILIAN. FREEDOM FIGHTING IS WHEN SOMEONE KILLS A JEW."
