Defense Minister Barak: In Our Region, "Weakness Is Not Looked at with Mercy"
(Israel Hayom) In response to ongoing rocket fire from Gaza, which has left eight Israelis wounded since Saturday - four soldiers and four civilians - Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Sunday: "This isn't North America or Western Europe; it is a place where weakness is not looked at with mercy....Keeping our eyes peeled, we need to dish out hits when necessary, and sometimes take a few. That's how it is in the ring. We do not expect our neighbors to disappear and they are not going to become Dutch or Belgian any time soon." "The main fight is on the [Gaza] border fence....Israel will not allow them [terrorists] to try to change the rules."
