Frankfurt Mayor Defends Israeli Response to Gaza Rocket Fire
(Jerusalem Post) Juliane Helmhold - The mayor of Frankfurt, Germany, Uwe Becker, defended Israel's air strikes in response to rockets fired from Gaza on Wednesday, praising it on Facebook. "Imagine for a short moment that your country would be attacked by rockets day by day. Imagine that terrorists would send self-made firebombs attached to kites and gas-balloons towards your home, your garden or your kid's kindergarten. Imagine terrorists would dig tunnels to infiltrate your country or break the borders to your country in violent riots with the aim to attack and kidnap you and your family." "How many years, months or weeks would you give your government while sleeping in a shelter? Not years, not months, not weeks but minutes or hours, right? While other national governments would not hesitate to enter the region from where their own country is attacked, Israel is focusing on pinpoint accurate reactions against Hamas and other terrorist groups. So Israel and its military forces concentrate on eliminating the sources of violence while Hamas is attacking Israeli families....Israel is not the aggressor; Israel is defending its people."
