Who fed Olmert his spinach this mornin?
Via One Jerusalem:

Prime Minister Olmert has issued the following statement:

PM Olmert's reaction to diplomatic developments & UNSC Resolution 1860
(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)

Following is Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's reaction to diplomatic developments and UN Security Council Resolution #1860: "The State of Israel has never agreed that any outside body would determine its right to defend the security of its citizens. The IDF will continue operations in order to defend Israeli citizens and will carry out the missions with which it has been assigned in the operation. This morning's rocket fire against residents of the south only proves that the UN Security Council Resolution #1860 is not practical and will not be honored in actual fact by the Palestinian murder organizations."

One Jerusalem notes:

It should be noted that the United Nations resolution does not mention that Hamas has terrorized Israeli civilians with thousands of rockets nor does it mention the kidnapping of Gilad Shalid.

Well, we are talking about the UN--all along the UN has not been shy about ignoring the plight of both Gilad Shalit and Sderot.
