A brilliant point at Tzipi Livni's press conference in DC yesterday. Sam Husseini, media director of the Institute for Public Accuracy, makes the point (at about 8:30 or so) that the government of Israel states that it started the Six-Day War in 1967 because of Egypt's blockade of the Straits of Iran [Tiran, sorry folks!] (at a time when Israel was getting nukes). Israel has of course been blockading Gaza for years.
