Israeli’s Right to Enforce its Borders must be Recognized

[Jos]

A Palestinian man was shot to death Friday at the Israeli border in Southern Gaza and ten other Palestinians were wounded by Israeli soldiers. And what was the just cause for the shooting? The Palestinians came too close to a border fence and the Israelis feared they might get out. A part of the agreement for the cease fire was to reestablish free travel for the Palestinians in and out of the Gaza Strip, yet another empty promise it would seem.

Let’s take a closer look at this incident. A group of Palestinians approached a border fence being manned by Israeli soldiers. Apparently, the Israelis have dictated that the Palestinians not only cannot cross the fence, but may not come within 30 feet of it. I guess this is standard operating procedure for a concentration camp.

Let’s look at the other side of the coin. What if there were American soldiers down on the US Mexican border and they shot a Mexican who came too close to our border fence? What would the reaction around the world be? Hell, what would the reaction be within the United States? Mexican 5th columnists would be rioting on our streets and no doubt murdering Americans for daring to defend our border.
