No pasta into Gaza...

Not until Shalit is released...here's a short comment from Marty Peretz...

Hillary Clinton has been away. So she has also been in the news. Middle Eastern news.

Her first comment over the weekend was that Israel had not sufficiently opened the gates of relief to Gaza. One fact behind this is that Hamas is still targeting rockets into the cities and town of southern Israel. Ashkelon was one of the targets during that time but also on Monday, when only 60 percent of kindergarten pupils and 40 percent of the higher classes were in attendance. The boycott will grow on Tuesday and beyond. I myself believe that Israel should allow no aid to Gaza until trajectiles of death have stopped endangering life in Israel.

The second fact is that Gilad Schalit is still in captivity after 32 months since his kidnapping. Hamas has been playing mickey mouse with this man's life for all that time. You want to put real pressure on the mad Sunni warriors of the Muslim god? Then put real pressure on them. Let the Israelis demonstrate that no spaghetti (a demand from Gaza, instead of rice) and no boards and nails enter Gaza until this hostage is freed.

Now, as I suggested a few weeks ago, Schalit may be dead. Just like the two Israeli soldiers kidnapped by Hezbollah were dead all the while mad Lebanese Shi'a warriors of the Muslim god were bartering for their release. This would justify another round of retribution.

Mrs. Clinton has had nothing public to say on these matters.
