“Israel will continue to honor a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip even though rockets are being fired from there toward the Negev at the rate of about two a day, the security cabinet decided Sunday.”
Let me get this straight: the Pals are firing a few rockets a day to try to kill Israeli civilians from Gaza. Israel, on the other hand, is implementing a “cease fire.” Who the hell are they cease firing with, their distorted imagination?
Over and over and over and over we see the same thing. It is the language of Orwell. And if Israel were to attack now, they would be blamed by the world community for violating the cease fire.
Peretz and Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter, however, argued that Israel needed to respond to the rocket fire, even during a period of relative calm. Firing against terrorists about to attack Israel was the "very definition of self-defense," Dichter reportedly told the security cabinet.
No shit. How out of touch are Olmert, Livini and their crew? They still fail to understand that everything they are now doing is such a sign of weakness to the Arabs, that they will keep attacking! Have you EVER HEARD from a Pal mouth, “oh- the nice Israeli’s aren’t protecting themselves, lets be generous and stop trying to kill them”?
If Olmert is so incapable in the face of rockets that are fired a mile from the border, how can we trust him to protect Israel from much graver threats, such as those coming from Iranian nukes? Isn’t it time for stronger leadership?
