International hypocrisy
International hypocrisy
Bus stop
By EVELYN GORDON
International hypocrisy toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is routine. But even by this standard, the demand that Israel immediately inaugurate convoys between Gaza and the West Bank is outrageous.
[..]The world's pretense that Palestinian inaction on terrorism is somehow irrelevant to the convoy agreement is thus utterly unconscionable. But the international community has also ignored an even more explicit violation of the Rafah Agreement - namely, the stipulation that Israeli personnel "receive real-time video and data feed" from the Gazan-Egyptian border crossing...[..]
[..]But if Gaza and the West Bank are a single political unit, the idea that Israel has no right to "penalize" Gaza for West Bank terror attacks is ludicrous: Israel is not penalizing Gaza, but the PA, which supposedly controls both territories. Thus Wolfensohn's complaint essentially boils down to the astonishing theory that whether the territories are a single unit or two separate entities depends on which definition better serves Palestinian interests at any given moment.

We conservative Jews, both in the US and in Israel, ask the United States Congress to override President Bush's desire for Israel to commit suicide, 1st by forcing the evacuation of Gaza (what was the purpose?) and now trying to force more evacuations and passage from Gasa to the West Bank. Israel has never received anything in return for these rediculous actions. Old Fatso (Sharon) tries so hard to please Mr. Bush and Condi Rice by giving away the Land that G-d has given to us. You, the Senators and the members of the House of Representatives, have the power to stop this travesty.
