EU Monitors Seek Escape Route to Israel

The EU anti-terrorist monitors at the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt are looking to formalize one of their main tasks--fleeing for their lives from the terrorists their nations support. Of course, their sanctuary is Israel, their countries' whipping boy.

As the Rafah crossing deal was being negotiated, I warned that this was an absolute fraud. Unfortunately, the terrorists aren't going along with the charade, and they see the infidels as prime targets:

Fearing for their lives, European Union monitors stationed at the Rafah Crossing that connects the Gaza Strip and Egypt have asked the defense establishment for help in drawing up escape routes from Gaza in the event of an attack on the border terminal....

The monitors, led by Italian Maj.-Gen. Pietro Pistolese, have raised concerns in recent weeks for their safety following a series of threats to their lives. An Israeli defense official told the Post that several weeks ago a large bomb was discovered on a route used by the monitors to drive through Gaza.

Later this week, the head of the Defense Ministry's Military-Diplomatic Bureau, Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad, is scheduled to sign an agreement that will extend the monitoring team's mandate by another year. It was initially signed following Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005.

Brave Sir Robin ran away.
("No!")

Bravely ran away away.
("I didn't!")

When danger reared it's ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled.
("I never!")

Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out.
("You're lying!")

Bravely taking to his feet,
He beat a very brave retreat.
Bravest of the braaaave, Sir Robin!
