Israel finally pays for a murder they say they did not commit

The family of James Miller (the British journalist shot dead by an Israeli soldier in Gaza) have accepted a payment  of £1.5million from Israel.

Israel have not admitted they murdered James Miller – or made an official apology, but this is the closest thing the Miller family will ever get.

It’s pretty crazy – considering that after Palestinian thugs fired rockets into Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert vowed a disproportionate response.  It’s the first time I’ve seen a country loudly and proudly proclaiming they’ll overreact and no other country says a word about it.
