ISRAEL DECIDES TO DEFEND ITSELF

After Palestinian terrorists, perhaps including members of the PA "security forces" launched an attack from a PA base and murdered 6 Israelis at the Gaza border Ariel Sharon called on Mahmoud Abbas to make efforts to stop terror. He didn't even raise his voice to condemn the attacks. So Israel cut ties with him until he made efforts to stop the terror. Then Israel decided to defend itself and launched an offensive into Gaza. Then Abbas decided to speak up and called for Palestinian attacks in Gaza to stop. He still hasn't lifted a finger.
