The disengagement from Gaza did not put an end to the Qassams, but quite to the contrary, the aggression has increased. The cross-border raids into Israel from Gaza and from Lebanon, by Hezbollah, which ended up in the kidnappings of three Israeli soldiers are not forgotten by the international community. What must be understood is that since the terror attack of 9/11, and attacks subsequent to it, has made all governments unwilling to lend support to any terror organizations. Hamas is just such an organization. It is on the list of terror organization of the EU, the US, and the UN, as well as many countries. The just released report by the US, which clearly proves that Saddam Hussein had plans to attack Israel with missiles and chemical weapons is adding to the already ominous atmosphere surrounding Israel. Civilized countries do not like it when a sovereign state, a member of the United Nations, is threatened existentially. |
