I have to admit it. After years and years of Palestinian attacks against us, I am forced to admit that I am afraid.

I fully agree that justice demawnds that we pump as much oil and solar and fuel that they want.

I fully agree that we should never never impose collective punishment on the poor huddling masses who only want to be free and live as a democratic State alongside the Jewish state - Israel.

I totally admit that almost all the Gaza Palestinians support George Bush and his Road Map.

BUT I am afraid of the small miniscule minority that shoots accross the border at us.

I am so-o-o-o afraid that I do not want anyone to approach the pumping station on our side. I don`t want anyone on our side of the line to be a target.

I realize that this means that no fuel will reach the Gaza side. But --- it`s not punishment. It`s not revenge.

It`s just that I`m....afraid.
