Today’s New York Post<\/a> posted an article about the calls for a cease-fire in the Israeli<\/a>–Gaza conflict<\/a>. Michael Goodwin, who wrote the article, points out that even with a cease-fire, there is no way to return to the status quo. The discovery of the complex network of tunnels from Gaza for the purpose of attacking innocent Israelis and destroying Israel cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> already declared that the threat caused by the tunnels means Israel cannot accept a fully sovereign Palestinian state<\/a> in the West Bank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we were to pull out of Judea and Samaria<\/a>, like they tell us to,\u201d he said in speech four days after the war began, \u201cthere\u2019d be a possibility of thousands of tunnels\u201d being dug to attack Israel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noting that the West Bank is 20 times the size of Gaza, he said his country would never \u201ccreate \u00adanother 20 Gazas.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Veteran Israeli journalist David Horovitz<\/a>, writing in the Times of Israel, said the speech \u201cspells the end\u201d to any notion the prime minister would ever agree to the kind of free Palestinian state that President Obama and most of Europe, along with the Palestinians<\/a>, demand.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gaza has forfeited its right to become an independent state. It has taken the money given to its leaders for infrastructure and used it for weapons.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

It is not lost on Israelis that the tunnels were reinforced with steel and concrete. The supposed shortage of building materials in Gaza, routinely denounced as cruel by \u00adIsrael\u2019s critics, did not stop Hamas<\/a> from diverting tens of thousands of tons into preparation for war.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That material could have been used to build houses, hospitals or schools. The tunnels even could have served as bomb shelters to protect Gaza\u2019s civilians from Israeli bombs.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead, a determination to kill Jews took precedence over every \u00adaspect of life in Gaza. That included Hamas leaders urging and sometimes forcing civilians to stay in the line of fire, turning them into human shields to protect rockets and \u00adammunition dumps. Nothing better illustrates the Hamas culture of \u00adhatred and death.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And now that nihilism, endorsed by Gazans who elected Hamas as their government, has destroyed any chance of a sovereign Palestinian state in the near future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Naturally, much of the world will use a new Israeli hard line to accuse it of genocide and apartheid, blah blah blah. But the facts are clear: Once again, the Palestinians have only themselves to blame.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When a man who was in jail for armed robbery gets out of jail, you do not hand him a gun (or the money to buy one). Gaza was given a chance to become a sovereign state. The first thing they did was destroy the greenhouses that would have allowed them to prosper. Until they can behave, they should not be allowed to have a country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
