Hamas Gets Its Wish
[Chicago Tribune] Editorial - Israel bombarded Hamas security targets in Gaza for the third straight day on Monday, and much of the world screamed in protest that Israel has overreacted. What would have happened if there had been such international outrage when the rocket attacks from Gaza began to escalate a few weeks ago? Or if there had been outrage when Hamas formally declared on Dec. 18 that it was ending the six-month truce with Israel? There will be no peace in the Middle East and no prosperity for the people of Gaza as long as the provocateurs of Hamas are in charge.
