The Independent's Mark Steel is particularly shrill to read because Steel’s not as funny as he thinks.
Also, if the Israelis think the Hamas rockets are as lethal as they say, why don't they swap their F-16 fighters and Apache helicopters for a few of them?
These things are capable of terrorising a whole nation for years apparently, yet the Israelis have neglected to buy any, wasting their money on gunboats and stuff. Given that their annual arms budget is $7.2bn plus $2.2 bn in "aid", they'd save enough to buy a selection of banks in every country in the world.
Is the Man of Steel advocating an indiscriminate response to rocket fire? Doesn't sound funny to me.
