Let’s see. Israel withdraws from Gaza. Israel makes humanitarian gestures towards the neo Pals so they can celebrate Ramadan. The response? The neo Pal terrorists decide to celebrate a new holiday: Let’s-kill-as many-Israeli-children-as-possible Day.
Two young Israeli girls and a 16-year-old boy were killed Sunday afternoon and three other people were wounded, one seriously, when Palestinians opened fire on a hitchhiking station at the Gush Etzion junction, south of Jerusalem in the West Bank.Shortly after the attack, Palestinians opened fire again near the settlement of Eli, also in the West Bank, seriously wounding a 14-year-old Israeli boy.
But it is pretty predictable, really. When we relax our strict security measures, terrorists get in. And they want to get in because terrorism works. The Gaza withdrawal is proof of this. Now the terrorists are setting their sights on the “West Bank,” hoping for a repeat performance.
What needs to happen now, in my opinion, is a swift Israeli response against the terrorists. Since the PA are not doing anything to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure, we need to. Actually, it is worse than this. The PA are part of the terrorist infrastructure, at least insofar as the terrorists who claimed responsibility for today’s attacks, are affililiated with PA leader Abbas.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, affiliated with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas’ ruling Fatah movement, took responsibility for both of the attacks.
Abbas is on his way to Washington DC. Here’s hoping that President Bush rips him a new a**hole, and states in unequivocal terms that failure to live up to the obligations under the Road Map will result in no “palestinian” state.
