Even As the U.N. Resolution to Stop the Deaths in the Middle East, Israel Expands Its Offensive Again

Before I link you to The Times' piece detailing the expanded offensive, let me mention that the same article notes something I read about earlier today: my preferred Israeli newspaper, Ha'aretz called for Israeli Prime Minister Olmert's resignation today.

"You cannot lead an entire nation to war promising victory, produce humiliating defeat and remain in power,’’ wrote columnist Ari Shavit.

Well, oh yes, you can if your name is George W. Bush.

Offensive, indeed. Even as the U.N. Security Council prepared earlier this evening for its vote on the highly important cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah forces in Lebanon, Israel was ramping up its operations in Lebanon - and not just the controversial Southern Lebanon alleged Hezbollah hot spots either.
