The Washington Post published an article entitled “Gaza militants send bomb-loaded balloons to Israel” (3/9/20). The article describes an Israeli child named Emma who was initially “pleased” when she saw a balloon floating toward her. But, as the article continues, “another child, who had heard the warnings from local police, knew better: “That’s a bomb!” According to the Post article, “In recent months, hundreds of booby-trapped balloons — sometimes bearing the messages ‘I love you’ and ‘Happy Birthday’ along with small improvised explosives dangling by a string — have descended” on Israel from Gaza.
No need to parse words on this: the goal is the targeted killing of Israeli children by the Palestinians.
The Post, always quick to jump to the defense of the Palestinian movement, claims this is “one of the ways in which militants in Gaza keep up a low-intensity armed resistance to Israel’s 14-year blockade of the Palestinian enclave.” But if that were the case, how come the balloons aren’t aimed at Egypt as well, since Egypt blockades Gaza on its west side? Why doesn’t the Post — supposedly the gold standard among newspapers — examine that basic fact?
