ISRAELI INVASION OF GAZA JUSTIFIED
If the government of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu decides to invade Gaza, the world should support the decision. Israel has remained remarkably restrained over the years as terrorists within Gaza mercilessly target civilian centers with rocket attacks. The loss of life and property resulting from these attacks often receive the most attention. However, the psychological terror being waged against Israelis occurs most often.
Opponents of forceful Israeli military response like to point out that these rocket attacks from Gaza only sporadically kill Israelis. Yet these apologists fail to recognize the psychological terror that these thousands of rocket attacks inflict on Israelis. In Sderot, just across the border with Gaza, two hundred bomb shelters dot the roadsides. Israel constantly monitors skies over the region for rocket launches. Because of Sderot’s close proximity to Hamas strongholds, once a rocket is detected, Israel can only provide a ten second warning for its residents. Imagine the scramble of those in bed, in a vehicle, in the shower to run towards a concrete safe haven. Yet, this is terror. Talk to a kindergartner who every day is reminded of the possibility of death as he spends recess on a playground built constructed around a bomb shelter.
