There is room for improvement in this by UN, the EU and the Finnish media write the Finnish National Coalition Youth.”

Kokoomusnuoret: Israel has every right to defend itself (02.01.2009)
Coalition Youth League is astonished at the way in which the international community seems to react repeatedly to the Middle East violence. “When Hamas bombs the Israeli civilian population, no one seems to be responsive,” wonders the National Coalition Youth League’s international task force chairman, Wille Rydman. “Only when Israel responds after repeated warnings, does the international community’s offer its verdict.”

Or is their some kind of fuzzy logic driving this, that terrorism can be looked between the fingers but defense of the homeland is reprehensible,” Rydman Wonders.
