Why do other countries think they get to decide?
If you don't live here... if you haven't lived under the threat of suicide bombings, bulldozer attacks, rocket fire, etc... you do not get to decide whether or not we open our borders.
What the heck is the US thinking by abstaining on that RIDICULOUS UN resolution? Abstaining?
Hamas, a terrorist organization hellbent on the destruction not only of my sovereign country, but my very existence as a Jew, gets a light reprimand to stop attacking our citizens IF WE OPEN OUR BORDERS TO THEM?
Huh?
Does this make ANY sense? Because I tend to think of myself as able to see most points of view, and find logic from *some* direction... yet on this note, there does not seem to be logic.
I mean, really... we are supposed to say, "Oh, thank you so very much for stopping your rocket fire. As a thank-you gift, we would like to invite you to just come on in freely into our country -- and, hey, as long as you're coming, why don't you bring some suicide bombers and belts with you?"
I don't think so.
Was the abstention supposed to be a gift? By not voting against Israel, they were voting for Israel?
Chickens.
Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, we deserve to take back the land we gave up a few years ago, when there was supposed to be some sort of peace attached to our withdrawl.
But at the very least -- the very, very, very least -- Gaza has a border with Egypt. Egypt -- an Arab, Muslim country that cries all the time about the poor, poor "Palestinians." So let Egypt open their border with Gaza.
Why aren't they? Oh, right -- because they don't want the terrorists any more than the rest of us do.
And why aren't they getting yelled at for having closed borders? (Remember, they're not getting fired upon every day, either.)
Because they aren't the Jewish country.
We have this teensy, tinsy sliver of land that we've been fighting over 100 years for. WE decide our borders.
If only we can get our cowardly, corrupt government to remember that.
