Murder at the Border
[Jerusalem Post] Editorial - Our enemies in Gaza expect Israelis to feel compassion over the deprivations suffered by Gazans - lack of fuel, for instance - even as they try to kill us at every opportunity. Palestinians have exploited every vulnerable target where Israel tries to partner with Gazans for their own benefit - including joint industrial zones, supply depots and border crossings - to carry out attacks. Thousands upon thousands of tons of humanitarian aid have been transferred by Israel to an entity that is at war with us because that's what the civilized world expects from the only democracy in the Middle East. But Israel must have its limits. Israel cannot be expected to deliver food and fuel to an enemy that won't stop shooting at its civilians and trying to kidnap or kill its soldiers. It cannot maintain points of contact with Gaza when terrorists cynically utilize the vulnerability of such points to commit murder.
