« EU Condemnation Of Eliat Bombing Make No Sense, Is An Insult | Main | The Oh-So-Moderate Abbas Urges Palestinians To Unite, Target Israelis »

Did The NYT Just Admit That The Defensive Fence Works?

It sure sounds like it:

Three Israelis who worked in the bakery were killed by the blast; it was the first time that Eilat, isolated at the very southern tip of Israel, has ever been hit by a suicide bombing. The town was apparently a target because Israel’s web of defenses and travel restrictions on Palestinians has made it extremely difficult for bombers to reach Israel from the West Bank, the source of virtually all suicide bombings in Israel in recent years.

Not that anyone will remember this the next time that some jagoff decides to start a global protest about Israel's "Apartheid Wall". Because why should Israel be allowed to build useful defenses if they inconvenience the Palestinian public that supports suicide bombers and the Palestinian voters who elected a terrorist government? That's just totally unreasonable, right?
