After the human bomb murders in Eilat last weekend, the British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said:

There can be no justification for attacks such as these. Our thoughts are with the families of the people killed and injured. Such incidents only serve to escalate further an already tense situation in the region. In addition, we are also gravely concerned by the violence over the weekend in the Occupied Territories. We wish to see the restoration of order by the legally constituted Palestinian security forces.

Doesn’t the British Foreign Secretary know that that Israel disengaged from Gaza and that this territory is therefore no longer occupied? Doesn’t the Foreign Office have an even elementary relationship with the truth?
