Dear Editor,

According to your editorial An Opening in Annapolis (Nov. 28, 2007), Israel’s policy of “blockading Gaza only gives Hamas an incentive to disrupt the [peace] process through terrorism.” Please!! Palestinian terrorist organizations don’t need an “incentive”; their expressed purpose of existence is to destroy the state of Israel. Blockade or no blockade – their attacks will continue, but the blockade does limit their ability to re-supply weaponry. Why does The Washington Post criticize Israel for acting as any country would in blocking supply routes of enemy combatants?
