Israel's Motivation for March into Gaza
[Toronto Star] Oakland Ross - "It's only a matter of a year or two before Hamas threatens Ben-Gurion, the only international airport Israel has," said Hillel Frisch, senior research fellow at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies in Tel Aviv. "The moment any missile flies within 10 kilometers of that airport, no foreign airline will fly that route." "There was no way that Israel could allow this to continue," said Frisch. "It just can't be. It's either us or them." Frisch also said Hamas' rocket capabilities will soon threaten "the most crucial installations of Israeli defense," if they don't do so already.
