    Back and forth, to and fro, opened and closed--Israel's actions in isolating the Palestinian people, ostensibly to "punish" them for militant attacks, have done nothing more (or less) than solidify opposition among them. Israelis enjoy an unjustified reputation for being smart people.

      I agree that it was a mistake to reopen the border crossings. They should remain closed until (after signing a peace agreement and complying with its terms for at least several months) it will become obvious that it is safe to allow movement of Palestinians and Israelis in both directions.

      Opening border crossings earlier will increase (again) the number of terrorist acts and will result in more dead Israelis and Palestinians.

      I disagree, however, that closing border crossing into Israel is "isolating the Palestinian people". They're free to go anywhere, just not to Israel.

        I also agree that closing the border crossings is not an appropriate way to "punish" the Palestinians for militant attacks. If someone tried to murder me and the members of my family I probably would not stop at locking the doors of my house. I would fight back causing enough bodily damage to the attackers to make them peaceful or, at least, incapable to cause any damage to me or anyone else.

          Back and forth, to and fro, the rockets are fired from Gaza violating the cease fire. And your little brain can't figure out why Israel keeps closing the border gate. We knew from the beginning that the cease fire would be broken by more rocket fire into Israel. It was a foregone conclusion and it didn't take more than 2 days to become a reality. Only children who refuse to take responsibility for their actions throw stones at people's windows then blame the owners of the windows for the breakage.
