Tit for tat

Blog Simple commented on the storm of criticism of Switzerland by the US for making a deal to buy Iranian gas. Naturally, the criticism wasn't limited to the US, Israel also pitched in, as well as the World Jewish Congress. Scandalous Swiss!

The Guardian points out a strange but true fact about the US's best every ally:

This righteous indignation was entirely predictable but more than a little odd nevertheless. On March 30, the Swiss newspaper Sonntag retaliated with the revelation that Israel, supposedly observing an ironclad boycott of all things Iranian, has been buying Iranian oil for years.

Do you think the US is going to get all huffy about that, too? Naw, I didn't think so either.
