Missiles from Gaza? Again?
Once again we are reminded of the willful naivete that is such a major part of life and politics.
Here’s is a nice Who’s Who of people who assured us that Israel would not be attacked from Gaza once it retreated from there:
Rockets had already been falling on Israel from Gaza for years before the Disengagement. It was obvious that handing a huge victory to the terrorists would embolden them and encourage others to join them. How anyone in Israel could say otherwise is a mystery, even taking ideology into account.
Unfortunately, it is absurd to expect much contrition from people were so spectacularly wrong, in fact so spectacularly stupid, even though they were caught on video.
