Terrorist Islamitische Jihad gearresteerd die grote aanslag plande

Citaat:

 

The terror attack was thwarted when the vehicle was stopped at a Border Police checkpoint near Givat Ada. According to security assessments, the terrorists came from the area of Jenin and infiltrated into the Israeli home front in the Wadi Ara region.

 

 

Als de checkpoints er niet waren, dan hadden deze en vele andere verijdelde aanslagen duizenden (en wellicht meer) doden geëist. Het is waar dat onschuldige Palestijnen eronder lijden, maar het is begrijpelijk dat Israël zich op deze manier beschermt. Met alle aandacht voor de Palestijnse problemen als gevolg van de checkpoints wordt dit weleens vergeten.
