On top of yesterday's post on the Gaza Strip, Joey Tartakovsky writing at Victor Davis Hanson's Private Papers is today's must-read:
The Israeli sin is occupation and the Palestinian sin is terrorism. But now Israel makes redress. What have the Palestinians done? Nothing. Actually, that’s not true: they’ve been busy partying. And praising themselves: “This pullout is the result of our sacrifice, of our patience,” said President Mahmoud Abbas. In another speech: “The credit [for the withdrawal] goes to the martyrs.” Abbas has no plans to confront the terrorists under his dominion. (Nor has a single terrorist been arrested during his tenure.) On the contrary, the martyrs are gearing up for a new round of holy war. Critics of the withdrawal warned that its greatest peril was that Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and Fatah would interpret Israel’s sacrifice as their victory.More:
The critics were right.
Tom Carter:
I don't understand those who turn a blind eye to the murderous intentions of a large number of Palestinians. Neither do I understand their consistent criticism of Israel. The Palestinians make no secret of their final goal. How is Israel expected to react to years of murderous terrorism and the almost certain prospect of more to come no matter what they do?(via LGF)
