UN official John Dugard spoke out on Israel’s battle against Qassam rockets. Reuters writes:
“The indiscriminate firing of rockets into Sderot violates international humanitarian law. So does Israel’s response as it fails to distinguish between civilians and combatants and is a disproportionate use of force,” Dugard said in a statement.
If Israel’s response to the rockets is “disproportionate,” what adjective best describes the Lebanese army’s siege of Nahr el-Bared? And more importantly, is Dugard‘s rare criticism of Palestinian terror a sign that he’s mellowing with age?
