I hear that those Gazans dig terror tunnels.
I hear that those Gazans use their own children as human shields, forcing Israel to shoot them.
The next operation against Gaza will take at least $4.5 billion, I should think.

And that says nothing of the money required to do peacekeeping work in the West Bank, esp. around those areas where new settlements are being introduced.

That money can be put to better use in this country. Who knows how many lives we save by not complying.
