This is not another post about Benghazi, although I suspect that there will be one by the end of the day–it is a post about Egypt<\/a>. President Morsi visited Gaza this week to show solidarity with the Palestinian people<\/a>. While he was there, the Palestinian people fired rockets on Israel<\/a> from Gaza. No problem. The fact that Egypt supposedly has a peace treaty with Israel was evidently not important to either President Morsi or the Palestinians. Well, it gets worse.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the Weekly Standard<\/a> reported that rockets were fired from the Sinai Peninsula<\/a> into Israel on Friday night. Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula during the six-day war of 1967. The Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egypt in a treaty signed in 1979 between Israel and Egypt.\u00a0 That treaty was the reason the Muslim Brotherhood<\/a> assassinated Anwar Sadat<\/a>. The Muslim Brotherhood is now in charge of Egypt.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

This new front comes a day after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv and on the same day Israel’s capital Jerusalem was the target of rocket fire. Those attacks were courtesy of Hamas in the Gaza Strip<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“After Tel Aviv metropolitan area<\/a>, capital under fire too:\u00a0An air raid siren was sounded in Jerusalem and surrounding communities early Friday evening. After residents reported hearing blast sounds, security forces confirmed that one rocket had landed in the Gush Etzion area near a Palestinian village,” Ynet reports<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“There were no reports of injuries or damage.\u00a0This was the first air raid siren sounded in the area since the IDF\u00a0launched Operation Pillar of Defense\u00a0in the Gaza Strip. Air raid sirens were sounded in southern communities throughout the day and a barrage of missiles hit the area.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Israel needs to defend herself, and she needs to defend herself in a way that makes it a bad idea to launch rockets against her in the future. Unfortunately, when Israel fights back, most of the world community chooses to blame her for the violence.<\/p>\n
