Hamas Fails to Breach Israeli Border
(Tablet) Liel Leibovitz - Is "protests" really the right word for attempts by masses of people organized and incited by a terrorist organization to breach the border of a sovereign country using plastic explosives? No. Hamas again used innocent civilians in its cynical quest to score propaganda points against Israel. Israel no longer occupies even one inch of Gaza. Every Israeli settlement in Gaza was uprooted in 2005. Israel no longer has any territorial claims on Gaza; but Gaza still has territorial claims on Israel. Hamas' singular goal is the utter and absolute destruction of the Jewish state. It wants all of the land, not peace or coexistence. Until the Palestinians abandon the futility of their ongoing and senseless violence, and come to terms with Israel's right to exist, we're likely to see more mindless bloodshed, all of it the fault of their leadership.
