Palestinian security police officers secure the main beach as people bathe in the Mediterranean sea in Gaza City, Friday, June 22, 2012.

Lethal Aid

May 2nd, 2012 Comments off
“The walkie-talkies are almost certainly part of the “non-lethal aid” that the Americans have said they are funnelling to the FSA via Turkey. But what the FSA needs is lethal equipment.”  Would the Economist ever say that “what Hamas needs is lethal equipment”? Ever?
