A "Diplomatic Shield" to protect Islamists in Gaza

Submitted by Amerisrael (United States), Mar 3, 2009 at 17:16

Democrats, Blair, Solana, and Clinton all rushed to Gaza and the donors conference to protect the Islamists with a "diplomatic shield." Israel lanched a counter-terror operation in 2002 called Defensive Shield in response to repeated terrorism from the PLO Fatah. Now we have international diplomats protecting the Gaza terrorists with a "diplomatic shield".

Also, what is the difference between Sadam Hussein, [when he was still dictator], Saudi Arabia, or Iran giving financial compensation to the families of those who had perpetrated terror against Israel, and the International "donor" countries pledging $ billions to Gazans in financial aid?

That sort of thing undermines one of the main lessons the Islamists in Gaza are supposed to learn from a counter-terror operation like "Cast Lead". Namely, that terrorism against Israel will "cost you", big time.

But the message the Democrats and the dhimmi diplomats are sending the Islamists in Gaza is that "terrorism pays", big time.
