Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh blasted the Israeli army's "extrajudiciary executions" of Palestinians, saying Israel's method of fighting terrorism was "entirely reprehensible". "Israel is entitled to fight terrorism. Israel is entitled to protect itself against suicide bombings. But the methods Israel is using to combat terrorism are entirely reprehensible from a humane perspective," Lindh said in a statement. "Extrajudicial executions continue unabatedly. Building demolitions have become increasingly common. Palestinians are humiliated daily at Israeli roadblocks," she said. "Israel must realize that injustices and confrontation do not lead to security," she said, noting that 72 Palestinians, many of them civilians, have been killed as a result of the Israeli offensive in Gaza and the West Bank in the past month.
