The Israeli Embassy in Ireland suspended an employee for publicly comparing Israel’s airstrike in the Gaza Strip last week to Palestinian suicide bombings. The press officer, Noreen O’Carroll, is an Irish citizen who wrote a letter to the Irish Times newspaper saying she is “appalled and ashamed” at Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s initially hailing the attack as a success even though civilians were killed along with Hamas military leader Salah Shehada.
