Obama's stimulus plan is not big enough. Should be much larger than $775 Billion.

UN to Israel: Cease fire -- Israel to UN: NO

As usual, mainstream media misidentifies the true protagonist which is HAMAS:

Israel Rejects U.N. Cease-Fire Resolution

By Griff Witte and Colum Lynch
Washington Post Foreign Service

Friday, January 9, 2009

JERUSALEM, Jan. 9-- Israel on Friday rejected a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, as Prime Minister Ehud Olmert called the plan "unworkable."

The Israeli military continued its response to the Palestinian shelling of more than 50 targets overnight, and Hamas fired numerous rockets into southern Israel.

"The firing of rockets this morning only goes to show that the U.N. decision is unworkable and will not be adhered to by the murderous Palestinian organizations," Olmert said in a statement. He said the Israeli military "would go on defending citizens."

The 15-nation U.N. Security Council adopted its resolution Thursday by a vote of 14 to 0. The United States abstained, though Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the U.S. government supported the text and objectives of the resolution.
