Israel Aggression Upon Gaza Strip: Brutal Insanity
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, "Hamas has held the people of Gaza hostage ever since their illegal coup against the forces of President Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas' Fatah forces in 2007 and Abbas set up a rival government in the West Bank."

Israel on Wednesday rebuffed French calls for a 48-hour humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip and stepped up preparations for a possible ground offensive after Hamas's long-range rockets hit a major population centre.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said, "Hamas has held the people of Gaza hostage ever since their illegal coup against the forces of President Mahmoud Abbas. Hamas seized control of Gaza from Abbas' Fatah forces in 2007 and Abbas set up a rival government in the West Bank."Rice charged Hamas "has used Gaza as a launching pad" for firing rockets into the Jewish state and that, as a result, the Palestinians in Gaza have had "a very bad daily life." She said the U.S. supports a "durable and sustainable" cease-fire, but any end to fighting would depend on the willingness of Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel.
My question to Rice is, "Who made Israel and the United States, the co-dictators of the world? Who gives Israel and the United States the authority to judge what human being or organization can be stuck with the sticky label of "terrorist?" If one applies the protocol of counterterrorism, then by that doctrine is not Israel a terrorist organization.
