What about Sinai
Reader comment on item: Have Israelis Finally Learned the Strategic Value of Territory?
Submitted by Wayne (Israel), Jan 2, 2009 at 04:14
Not taking away from the main argument, but I do wonder if Sinai is an exception. Though that territory is used as a terminal for tunnel smuggling, at least there are no rockets being launched from there. Perhaps the issue of ceding territory has less to do with the territory ceded and more to do with who it is ceded to.
