Is that Israel's brainwashing media's way of replacing 'Islamic terrorism' with a more politically correct term that keeps the masses in a state of stupor ?

If you are really on this planet, you should know then that the use of Anti Personal Mines is strictly forbidden and using it nowadays is a war crime.

This would prevent any further attempts

No, Gregg, not all of the mines are forbidden, just special ones. They do it on the border to Syria as well!

david is 100% right! what ever the purpose is, invading the country is 'STRICTLY FORBIDEN"! when it was the anti mine gang's skin, they did not hasitate to fire bomb cities, murder millions of civilians, drop a-bombs on cities, oh, and how about syria, egypt, lybia at al.? talking about war crimes :)

I don't know if you are correct or not, but any country has a right to control it's borders. If mines are truly illegal, then dig a ditch forty feet deep and forty feet wide and line it with steel plates so they can't climb up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Treaty#Signatories "The list of about three dozen states that have not signed the treaty includes a majority of the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council: China, the United States and Russia. So far 35 countries have not signed the treaty; nonsignatories include Russia, United States, China, Somalia, Myanmar, United Arab Emirates, Cuba, Egypt, India, Israel and Iraq.

How does it feel to be ignorant?

the Knesset last year approved a bill aimed at removing all land mines from inside Israel’s borders. IDF cleared 60 acres of land near the Dead Sea this March. Do you mean that Israel will not remove but just shift those inside boders. The army failed to protect Israel on Nakba Day, 2011. Palestinian and Syrian crossed the buffer zone along the ceasefire line into the Golan Heights. no one was hurt while crossing the minefields. Israel had planted the mines in 1974 and 75. After Nakba Day, Israel dug a deep trench of two kilometers with barbed wire in it on the other side 200 meters inside Syria. Israel is above the law. According the agreement between Israel and Syria they are not allowed to go there. They don’t respect this agreement. what borders? At least the southern one is recognized by Israel.
