    Netanyahu acusa al mundo de doble moral

    JERUSALEN (AP) — El primer ministro israelí acusó el lunes a la comunidad internacional de guardar un "silencio ensordecedor" frente a los recientes pronunciamientos del jefe del grupo extremista Hamas de continuar su lucha hasta la destrucción del estado judío.

    Entretanto, Benjamin Netanyahu parecía impasible ante el alud de condenas globales contra los planes de su gobierno de proseguir la construcción de asentamientos en Cisjordania.

    El tono severo de las palabras de Netanyahu con seguridad profundizará las desavenencias entre Israel y algunos de sus aliados más cercanos, en particular en Europa, que emergieron especialmente luego que la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas aprobó por abrumadora mayoría la independencia palestina el mes pasado.

    En un indicio de las tensas relaciones, los ministros del Exterior de la Unión Europea, reunidos en Bruselas, condenaron la construcción de los nuevos asentamientos que autorizó Netanyahu en respuesta a la decisión de la ONU.

    En declaraciones a la prensa extranjera, Netanyahu acusó a la comunidad internacional de aplicar una doble moral: por un lado condenando los asentamientos judíos no construidos en Cisjordania y por el otro guardando silencio ante la histórica visita del dirigente exiliado de Hamas, Jaled Mashaal, a la Franja de Gaza.

    En su primer viaje efectuado el fin de semana al territorio que gobierna Hamas, Mashaal pronunció varios discursos en los que se comprometió a borrar del mapa a Israel. La visita puso de relieve la influencia y aceptación regional cada vez mayor que logró Hamas tras el conflicto que libró en noviembre durante ocho días con Israel.

    Netanyahu también dirigió su ira contra el presidente palestino Mahmud Abas, rival de Hamas, por guardar silencio.

    "Este fin de semana, el dirigente de Hamas, sentado al lado del líder de Hamas en Gaza —un hombre que ha elogiado a Osama bin Laden, se pronunció abiertamente la destrucción de Israel. ¿Dónde quedó la indignación? ¿Dónde quedaron las resoluciones de la ONU? ¿Dónde quedó el presidente Abbas?, dijo Netanyahu.

    • Borders gift card holders deserve nothing, judge rules

      By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) - Borders owes nothing to holders of roughly $210.5 million of gift cards that had not been used by the time the bookstore chain shut down, a Manhattan federal judge ruled on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter said it would be unfair to other creditors of the former Borders Group Inc. to let gift card holders pursue recoveries from the bankruptcy estate. To do so, Carter explained, could upset a liquidation by Borders' bankruptcy trustee that is already "substantially" completed. ...

In February the social network warned investors that "our younger users ... are aware of and actively engaging with other products and services similar to, or as a substitute for, Facebook."
