Palestinian Authority Minister for planning and international cooperation Nabil Sha'ath accused the United States of bias towards Israel and urged it to do more to prevent attacks by Israeli forces. "If a Palestinian commits an offence, then this is a big crime and terrorism in the eyes of the Americans. But the Israeli killing and destruction is not a crime and is something that happens 'accidentally'," he said. "That is bias." Sha'ath said Washington's policies were not helping U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni's peace mission in the region.
Ummm... Could be that Palestinians slaughtering granny ladies and teeny-boppers and buses full of civilians mighta had some dampening effect on his mission, too. |
