The Rafah crossing connects Egypt and the Gaza strip. It is as Condelezza Rice is so happy to announce, the first international border of the nascent Palestinian State under the Palestinians control, which all sounds so nice and wonderful until one remembers how the Palestinians received many ofl their lovely weapons in the first place. Egypt. The weapons can then be used against Israel as they gain entrance via other crossings Rice wants us to open.
And now, under the control of the PA, and supervised by the ever faithful guardian of freedom and protector and friend of Israel, the EU, Israel may stand and watch as terrorist enter and say "Excuse me, can you hold that one?"
Right. I'm feeling safer and safer.

Posted by: esther at November 19, 2005 03:57 AMSometimes I just want to hug you and say I am sorry! Life is getting to be totally unbelievable...all the crazies in the world seem to be running the place...you know the inmates running the prison!!
And as Esther says...we really do not know the whole story, about probably anything if the truth be told. I noticed in a recent photo of C.Rice that she is looking sick and old...I think there is a huge price to pay to be in such positions...such that I am surprized that anyone ever agrees to it! But nonetheless we disagree with the path taken by our govt. against yours!! Though we wish your govt was better too...I suppose a good many folks wish that these days...in the whole world. May HaShem be with us all!! (and is, I know!)
