Hamas Chooses to Let Children Die for Its Own Crazy Ends
(Telegraph-UK) Yair Lapid - Since the beginning of the last round of fighting, thousands of rockets have been launched at Israeli cities, armed terrorists have attempted to execute mass attacks in villages by the border and hundreds of mortars have been aimed at kindergartens and schools. While our children may not be dying, it is not for Hamas' lack of trying. Given a choice between sympathetic news coverage and the lives of our children, I choose life. Hamas chooses otherwise. It has no problem with Palestinian children dying, so long as it serves its political objectives. Islamic terror's greatest specialty is taking advantage of every democracy's main weakness - the fact that we sanctify life. I have spent my entire life in the Middle East and I still cannot understand how people can sacrifice their children. The writer is the Israeli Minister of Finance.
