Why Israel needs checkpoints


Alert IDF Soldier at Checkpoint Prevents Terror Attack

The IDF nabbed three Palestinians carrying nine pipe bombs at a checkpoint west of Nablus, averting a planned terror attack.

When a female soldier at the checkpoint asked a Palestinian to open his bag, he refused. The soldier insisted, prompting the Palestinian to remove a shirt and pants from the bag before closing it again. However, then the soldier opened the bag herself, and found three pipe bombs inside it. At that point, the suspect's two friends were also searched and were found to carry three pipe bombs in each of their bags.

The international community likes to condemn Israel for making 'fellow countrymen' have to go through checkpoints. I would like to hear the tune they'd sing if they had to live in Israel. I imagine checkpoints would seem far more reasonable to them then.
