Palestinians Fire on Israeli Protesters - Yahoo! News

Palestinians fired rockets Tuesday at a gathering of thousands of Israeli settlers protesting the upcoming Gaza withdrawal, but missed, killing instead a 3-year-old Palestinian boy and wounding nine other Palestinians in Gaza.

This story sums up the whole problem, doesn't it?
The Paleos can't give up jihadi murder, but also there's the irony of the presence of the protesters, who are objecting to the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the dismantling of the Israeli settlements there.
In short, the security fence/wall is sorely needed, as is the withdrawal.
Heaven knows what the new "independent" Gaza will be like, but it's not going to be pretty.
They'll try to kill Jews again, even if they kill their own children doing it, so better to make it that much harder to do behind the fence.
The settlers were only targets, a reality that Sharon, who'd been the settlers' biggest supporter in the past, finally had to acknowledge.
If only these protesters would understand that, too, and put their support behind Sharon, instead of making the Gaza withdrawal more difficult than it has to be.
