Did Condoleeza Rice Dis-Recognize Israel?

transcribed U.S. Secretary Condoleeza Rice's words yesterday at the London Conference.

To a query from a Mr. MCDONALD regarding Syria, Rice said this, inter alia,:-

"...When the Syrian support insurgents or allow their territory to be used for insurgents, they are frustrating the aspirations of the Iraqi people.
When the Syrians allow their troops and their security forces to operate in Lebanon, they are frustrating the aspirations of those Lebanese people who are in the streets of Lebanon.
When the Syrians support, from their territory and with their activities, terrorist groups who carry out bombings in the Holy Land, they are frustrating the aspirations of the Palestinian people...
This is Syria frustrating the aspirations of people of the Middle East for a better and more democratic life."

Excuse me? But what happened to Israel?
Hello???

Was it too difficult for Ms. Rice to prounounce the name of our country, recognized by the United Nations since 1948?

If there would be a geo-political entity called the "Holy Land" (which there isn't), could then Israel demand a right to its grand vision of the whole and integral Land of Israel?

Or, worse, was Rice attempting to divide Israel into official sovereign Israel in its 1967 borders and the disputed territories where, perhaps, frustrated Palestinians could act against Jews?

In addition, does not Rice know that these bombings, besides frustrating the Palestinian aspirations, just happen to be killing and maiming Israelis (not Holy Landers)?
Has Rice wiped Israel off the State Department gazetteer?
