"thwart any attempt to assist the "palestinian authority" towards reaching self-sufficiency in providing its own security.
ie: to undermine its chances of living up to its end of any peace agreement!" (eric)

Giving armored vehicles to create a self supporting nation is important and necessary. Weapons, etc, same. What then is Israel`s problem? HAMAS(And the other terror organizations)! In one word - TERROR!
Today, Hamas, stupidly, wanted to use an armored vehicle offensively. Just stupid. But, think ahead: we accept a "cease fire". One year, two. Peace, forget it (Hamas will never accept it because they are bought by Iran). What will Hamas do during a cease fire? What do they know to do, except terror? So, they`ll stock themselves with SERIOUS OFFENSIVE ARMS. Next, they will blackmail Israel like nothing before. Stop normal life in Israel. The damage will be immense to our advanced society, while they don`t care about their people`s lives. Hamas destroyed Palestinians aspiratio
