Dropping Checkpoints: Putting “Store Keys” in Hands of Thieves??

.
Commentary;

Defense Minister Ehud Barak has lifted several Yesha checkpoints and is considering handing control of the Gaza crossings to Pa/Hamas Arabs. He states that Israel is taking “calculated” risks.

Once again, the protexia-class elitist Olmert, Barak, Livni regime plays Russian Roulette with Jewish lives — as numerous Jewish victims who have lost loved ones to PA terror say; “the next terror attack ‘a matter of time.'” MB

From a military perspective, the checkpoints are a crucial tool in the war against terror, with troops catching Palestinians on a daily basis trying to cross them carrying weapons or explosives.

Officials close to Barak admitted on Monday that the lifting of the roadblock was accompanied by a number of security risks. But, they said, the risks were “calculated.”

[Dr. Aaron Lerner – IMRA: The term “calculated risk” has been featured in reports of the Oslo experiment from the very first day, but it should hardly provide comfort.

Just because the risk has been “calculated” doesn’t mean it is acceptable.

One can calculate the risk of jumping head first from the tenth floor of a building. But that doesn’t mean it is a good idea.]
