Israeli victims are...shocked. SHOCKED

Taghreed El-Khodary is back (with a chaperone). She reports on the horrors that the Palestinians are inflicting on poor Israelis: "The Israeli military reported on Wednesday that a rocket fired from Gaza landed in a yard in the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon and nine people were treated for shock. Three other rockets landed elsewhere." If the Palestinians have the luxury of being treated for "shock", how many would be treated? What an insult. What a racist insult. Taghreed did not, of course, forget to do what she always does: to provide justifications for the murder of Palestinian civilians: "The Israeli military contended that it fired on the school on Tuesday because Hamas fighters had fired mortars from the school compound." She even provides justifications for US blockage of a UNSC resolution: "But some members of the Security Council, including the United States, withheld support for any resolution because of efforts in the Middle East to achieve a cease-fire." Explain that one, please Taghreed. The US (and who are the other members, tell me please) withheld support for a resolution calling for a ceasefire because the US is working for a cease-fire in the Middle East? What on earth was that? English? Logic?
