Fred Alexander has an excellent letter in the LA TIMES on this subject.
The Palestinian terrorists’ strategy is to kill Israelis in hopes that Palestinian civilians will be killed in retaliation. Their strategy is to gain worldwide sympathy for the killing of innocent Palestinian bystanders by Israel. To ensure that Palestinian civilians are killed, the terrorists live, manufacture bombs and store ammunition in Palestinian cities. Israel has used great restraint in subduing terrorists, limiting Palestinian civilian casualties. The bombs used by Israel in counterattacks have limited collateral impact, while the terrorist bombs are made to cause maximum collateral damage. The “security partition” simply prevents suicide bombers from attacking Israeli civilians. This barrier will deprive terrorists of their strategy.
He’s got a point—the terrorists do hide among civilians. They don’t care if their own civilians get killed. It’s just more of their own sick disregard for human life. The question is, why do the civilians let them get away with it?
