Israel Has a Right to Defend Itself
(National Post-Canada) Editorial - Israel's incursion into Gaza is not an outright invasion, as has been hysterically claimed by some critics. Israel did not relinquish control over Gaza ten months ago only so it could have the fun of reoccupying it now. This military operation is an effort, simply, by Israel to defend itself, and to rescue an Israeli soldier who was kidnapped by Palestinian extremists. Far from evoking the sympathy of the international community, the events of the last few days will only serve to affirm the decisions taken by those countries who decided not to do business, or send economic aid, to an entity dedicated to the destruction of Israel. Palestinians have reaped what they have sown.
