Olmert Government Not So Much With the Cleaning Out Gaza, Relieving Sderot

Apparently Olmert and Peretz are under the impression that their security credentials are solid enough to take a less than hard line:

Israel’s Security Cabinet gave permission to the IDF on Sunday, 13 May 2007 to act more freely in fighting Palestinian terror from Gaza. Though it did not authorize a marked change in the way the IDF defends the South from PA rocket attacks and other terror attempts, it ceased the policy of having IDF commanders approve all operations with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz... Meanwhile, though Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi is in favor of a wide-scale ground offensive, he is currently against the move since the Government is unwilling to agree to prolonged operation to uproot the terrorist infrastructure in Gaza.

One Jerusalem has a wealth of recent calls and interviews about the intolerable situation in Sderot. For all the global hysterics about the "daily hardships of Palestinian life," it's only the residents of Sderot that are literally getting bombed day in and day out. It's almost like there's a smidgen of global hypocrisy at work. Almost.
