WHEN WILL THIS GOVERNMENT LEARN???

The attack on Zikim army base was the culmination of poor defense policy and a lack of response to the constant barrage of rockets emanating from Gaza.

In late summer 2005 when I volunteered through the Sar EL program, I did some work on Zikim and I recall looking into Gaza and thinking we were sitting targets if someone decided to fire on us.

Well last night it was confirmed that there was little to prevent terrorists in Gaza from attacking Zikim.

Had the government taken the attacks on Sderot seriously, and cracked down on Gaza rocket launches, perhaps the young IDF recruits would not have been subjected to this senseless carnage.

It's time to get serious about the threat we are facing and meet it head on. We must resolve to fight destroy and deter these blood thirsty murderers.
