(Los Angeles Times) Jonah Goldberg - The Gaza blockade is entirely the fault of Hamas and the Palestinians who support it. The brutal terrorist outfit rained missiles indiscriminately down on Israel for years (talk about collective punishment). Israel finally launched a strike to stop the attacks and was, predictably, denounced as an aggressor by the usual suspects. This is a terrible moment to consider abandoning the blockade because it would rightly be seen as giving the organizers and supporters of this seaborne propaganda stunt a victory. It would signal that America can be conned. It would reward Turkey's outrageous insult to us and to Israel, a longtime friend of Turkey. It would undermine Egypt and other Arab governments (including Fatah) that don't want Iran's clients in Hamas strengthened. And it would signal that Iran is the most important power in the Middle East. 2010-06-08 11:06:43Full Article
Abandoning the Gaza Blockade Would Hand a Victory to Israel's Enemies
