Surprise! Israel signs a truce and then doesn't abide by its terms

... thus provoking Hamas to end the truce, as Israelis must have known would happen, and fire rockets into Israel.

And while Catholic neocons in the west continue to swoon over Israel and pledge eternal fidelity to her, Israel shows characteristic gentleness and respect for Catholicism by barring priests from entering the Gaza strip, ensuring that Palestinian Catholics blocaded in there have no one to say Mass for them.

Don't expect to read about that in First Things.

End the blocade.
