Prime Minister Ehud Olmert declared Thursday night that his government cannot offer Sderot total protection against Kassam rocket attacks. "A country cannot protect itself ad infinitum, because there would be no end to it," he told the annual Caesarea conference.
His explained that completely defending the town's beleaguered residents, who have suffered continuing rocket attacks for seven years, would require the government to harm other security needs.
The Prime Minister also took a swipe at the media and said it should not "encourage, even mutely, demands of citizens that no normal government could accept."
