The Boston Globe's Hindsight Hypocrisy on Gaza.....

In 2005 when Sharon announced he planned to withdraw from Gaza, the Boston Globe went after Benjamin Netanyahu for arguing Gaza would be ''a giant base for terrorism".

Flash forward to 2007, after Hamas takes over power in Gaza, the Globe declares the "Ariel Sharon foolishly unilateral withdrawal in 2005"...

Must suck always being right...

“Senseless in Gaza”
June 14, 2007

[Gazans] long suffered from Israel's suffocating occupation, and then from Ariel Sharon's foolishly unilateral withdrawal in 2005, a move that allowed Hamas to bid for power with the misleading claim that its rockets and suicide bombings had driven Israeli soldiers and settlers out of Gaza.

But at the time the Globe editors saw a different story…

BOSTON GLOBE EDITORIAL
“The road through Gaza”
August 13, 2005

SOME ISRAELIS protesting the planned pullout from Gaza settlements are using scare tactics that are too common in the Mideast. ''A Jew-free Gaza welcomes Al Qaeda," shouted one banner at a massive rally in Tel Aviv on Thursday. Even some political leaders who should know better are fanning the flames. But to argue, as Benjamin Netanyahu did in resigning from the Cabinet, that disengagement from Gaza would create ''a giant base for terrorism" is to argue that there should never be a two-state solution to the conflict.
