When Lawyers Run the War, You Can't Win

PM Netanyahu told the Foreign Affair and Defense Committee in a meeting yesterday that the lawyers won't allow Israel to shut off the water and electricity to Gaza.

He said this in response to a request by the committee chairman, Minister Ze'ev Elkin, for Israel to take a more harsh response against Gaza, including shutting off the water and electricity.

Netanyahu said he will bomb them a little harder.

We're glad the lawyers permit that.

Still, one wonders, if we moved the lawyers to Sderot, would they come up with a different legal opinion?
