Stop Playing with Fire

(Times of Malta) Herman Grech - Israeli Ambassador Gideon Meir says a Maltese activist shot in Gaza last week played into the hands of Hamas. Q: Last week, Maltese activist Bianca Zammit was injured by Israeli soldiers during a protest on the Gaza border. What went through your mind when you heard of the incident? Meir: "First of all it's very sad when an innocent civilian is hurt. But we have to understand that the International Solidarity Movement is a very anti-Israel movement....They're taking part in all the violent movements of Hamas - and Hamas is very happy. Every time an activist is hurt, for Hamas it's fuel for its propaganda machinery. They are using innocent people and sending them to a combat zone. I'm sorry about what happened but she was sent by Hamas and the ISM to the border. This is a combat zone. You don't send innocent people to a combat zone. They are using them to plant bombs at the border....Our people are being attacked from there....I am telling every Maltese mother and father - don't let your children go to combat zones, it's dangerous."
