(National Review) Bridget Johnson - While it's just so touching that Hamas, Fatah, and various other delinquents have turned their attention from shooting each other in the streets to presenting a unified front against their Zionist aggressors, it's even more heartening to see the terrorist coalition get stared down by a column of tanks. Because enough is enough. Palestinians using a hostage to try to extort outrageous demands from Israel has the effect of Israel taking the means necessary to get their man back. I hate to break it to all those - within the UN and without - envisioning the Palestinian struggle to be a great stand for humanity, but the aggression is pretty one-sided. Israel does not sit around fantasizing about turning the Middle East and beyond into a Jewish theocracy. Young Israelis aren't strapping bombs to their midsections and blowing up restaurants, buses, and other gathering places for Palestinians. Israeli kids aren't given textbooks that deny the existence of Palestinian territories and aren't brainwashed about the glory of martyrdom.
