Ilana Mercer on the "seething snake pit that is Gaza"

In 2005, with great enthusiasm from the Israeli Left, Gaza was given over to the dogs of war, Hamas and their avid constituents.  Despite the fertile, coastal land they were handed, the precious ground water they sit on, and generous international assistance, the place soon went to the dogs.  Egypt, Jordan and Israel are all terrified to open their borders to the seething snake pit that is Gaza.
