TRANSLATION: Hammas, you are getting you posterior kicked return the hostages and end this stupidity.
"....calls on the government of Israel to avoid the use of excessive and pointless force which cannot provide a solution to the problem."
TRANSLATION: Israel, make sure you shots are accurate if you are going to use overwhelming force. Hammas, you are out gunned and have no hope of comming out of this alive.
So, your opinion is that the Greek government only wants Hamas to stop because Israel is kicking their butts? What about the fact that Hamas (and Hezbollah) went over the Israeli border and kidnapped Israeli soldiers - and that such actions constitute a serious provocation at best, and an act of war at worst? What about the fact that the Israelis have bent over backwards to give the Palies autonomy over all of Gaza and substantial portions of Judea & Samaria, and the Palies have responded by electing Hamas to govern them, and Hamas itself has kidnapped a soldier, killed others and is rocketing Israel itself? What if Turkey were doing this to Greece - wouldn't Greece be on the warpath, and rightfully expect the rest of the world to see the justice in its defensive response?
Please stop apologizing for the Greek government. Here it is simply wrong. It doesn't mean that it is wrong all the time, or even full of evil people...it just means that it is wrong HERE AND NOW.
Track this with what the USA just said.
No appologizing just dealing with reality.
You have a weak arab governements being lead by wacko groups.
No matter what you or I think, this is going to get very very very bloody.
