Ben-Eliezer: We've Had Enough!

Former Defense Minister and longtime Oslo and Gaza Disengagement supporter Binyamin Ben-Eliezer is calling for the IDF to do "whatever is necessary" to halt Kassam rocket attacks from Gaza.

In an interview with Army Radio, the current Minister of National Infrastructure, Ben-Eliezer exclaimed, "We've had enough! The rocket attacks must stop!"

"I am tired to burying children and visiting people in the hospital," he added, stating the government must order the IDF to do "whatever is necessary" to bring a complete halt to the attacks. He rejected the opinion of those who feel the attacks cannot be stopped, but rather just minimized at best.

The important thing to note here is that Ben-Eliezer was one of the biggest supporters of the Oslo and related peace plans, back in the days when those still enjoyed popular support. The fact that a Lefty like him has finally jumped off the bandwagon is a sure sign that support for these types of negotiated land-for-peace deals has really reached the bottom, and that a strong response to the missiles from Gaza is gaining more and more support throughout the political spectrum in Israel.
