Radio host asks resident: Is it irresponsible to live near Gaza?

Dec. 8, 2008

Israelis are known to be left wing and to support appeasement. As a matter of fact, a majority of Israelis support the creation of a Palestinian state, but simultaneously recognize that it will seek to destroy the Jewish state.

But a reporter on Voice of Israel government radio crossed the line when she insinuated that living in legal and undisputed Israeli neighborhoods near Gaza is irresponsible. Host Anat Dolev interviewed Batya Holin who lives in Kibbutz Kfar Aza, located less than a mile from the Gaza separation barrier where rockets rain down even during "cease-fires."

Holin said it is the government of Israel that is irresponsible for allowing its citizens to live under these threats for years. She also warned that the government's plans to surrender Judea and Samaria will only serve to bring Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in rocket range.

"All of the people of Israel understand what we are doing here, but the leaders do not care. Is that responsible?" she asked. "Tel Aviv is next."
