President and Foreign Minister Demand Explanation

Tags: Uncategorized — Author: Phil @ 11:09 am

“President Tarja Halonen has demanded an explanation from Israel for the bombing of the United Nations base in Khiam, in which a Finnish military observer is believed to have been killed.
In a statement, Halonen said that Israel had no right to strike the base.

Finland’s Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja has called the attack truly tragic.”

  1. Perhaps the commanders, and heads of State, should be held responsible for this act. It makes no sense to put unarmed persons in the middle of a war zone, next to terrorists who wish to bring Israeli fire on them in order to gain in the political war. There is a solution. Arm the observers against the terrorists, and make them to be peacemakers, rather than observers.
