Comments on: AP boilerplate ignores Syrian attacks on Israel http://www.yourish.com/2008/05/26/4871 Cutting straight to the point Mon, 13 Feb 2012 02:14:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: Alex Bensky http://www.yourish.com/2008/05/26/4871/comment-page-1#comment-32060 Alex Bensky Tue, 27 May 2008 12:10:46 +0000 http://www.yourish.com/?p=4871#comment-32060 I don't see a problem with the AP's reporting. They are only following accepted journalistic practice, which is that cross-border attacks on Israel don't count. See current reporting regarding Sderot for confirmation of this.

And if the Arabs don't like it, they could.... Just stop trying to destroy Israel! Then the "safe" borders could be restored. Sounds good to me.

I'm not talking about a "Greater Israel" or any such, I just think she needs defensive depth. The Golan was a problem for Israel, and she made it an asset, a barrier against aggression. As far as I'm concerned she needs to create uninhabited zones outside of her borders that expand as the threat requires. She should start with the range of the Qassam rockets to start. If they get longer range missles, push 'em back even farther. They don't need to be occupied zones either, I'm thinking more along the lines of uninhabitable zones, but hey, that's just me.
