Letters: Intent makes all the difference in border crossing
The June 20 letter "Just shoot border-crossers?" compares apples to atomic bombs in suggesting the United States defend its borders the same way Israel does. Please examine the concept of "intent."
The majority of those crossing our borders illegally are doing so to find work, and the ability to care for and educate their children We would appreciate their intent more if they would do this in a legal manner, as probably the letter-writer's antecedents and mine did.
Those calling themselves Palestinians (some were not) were breaking down protective fencing in a continuation of the 60-plus years of attempting to destroy Israel. It had nothing to do with the "Arab Spring," which is a revolt against the oppression of the Arab regimes against their own people.
When I saw the pictures, my first thought was that they were trying to break into democratic Israel where Arab citizens vote, have their elected representatives in the Parliament, and, amazingly, can speak out against the Israeli government freely if they so wish.
I would ask the letter-writer: If someone comes to your door and asks for a job, and someone else comes to your door with a loaded gun ready to shoot, could you compare these as equal intentions? Or would you see the difference, the reality, give warning, and then take the appropriate defensive action?

Israel had every right to use force vs. Syrian provocateurs
The Post published a letter under the headline "Just shoot border-crossers?" in which the writer used a twisted argument about the shootings of Syrian "protesters" at the Syrian-Israeli border. He compared illegal Mexican infiltration at the U.S. border with the deliberate border provocation by one hostile country against its peaceful neighbor. Last I heard, Mexico and the U.S. were not at war.
Syria has never made peace with Israel. Those so-called "peaceful protesters" were bused to the border by the Assad regime and deliberately encouraged to cross the barbed-wire protected border. Israeli troops warned them repeatedly, in Arabic, to stay away . When that command was ignored, they then fired over the heads of the "peaceful protesters." When that, too, failed to stop them, they aimed at their legs. There are stories that the Syrian plainclothes "minders" who accompanied and directed them shot some who tried to turn back toward Syria.

WARRENVILLE, Ill.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--Coskata, Inc., a developer of technology for the production of renewable fuels and chemicals, announced today that it has issued a Letter of Intent with Fagen, Inc. for engineering, procurement and construction services for the construction of its commercial cellulosic ethanol facility in Boligee, Alabama, that will be designed around the Coskata technology. “After a rigorous selection process, we are pleased to announce that Fagen and Harris Group will work together to provide a facility that will be unmatched in quality, cost, and time to completion,” said William Roe, chief executive officer for Coskata, Inc. “We are confident that together with Fagen and Harris Group, we will demonstrate the value potential and long-term benefits of the Coskata technology in this exciting project.” Coskata received a conditional commitment for a loan guarantee from the United States Department of Agriculture, and is working on the details that will be necessary to close the financing for the project. The facility will convert sustainably harvested wood biomass into ethanol, a high-octane renewable fuel, and is expected to bring approximately 300 construction jobs and 700 direct and indirect jobs to Greene County, Alabama. “Our company has been extensively involved with ethanol plant construction, having built over half the ethanol plant production in the United States,” said Ron Fagen, Chairman of Fagen, Inc. “We are excited to work with Coskata, involving the next generation of ethanol production technology, and the continued drive toward locally produced biofuels. We look forward to excellent relations with the citizens and officials of Greene County, Alabama.” “Harris Group is proud to have had a great working relationship with Coskata for nearly three years,” said Jim Gabriel, President of Harris Group Inc. “Our intimate familiarity with Coskata's technology and our extensive experience in advanced biofuels commercialization will allow us to deliver a facility that can be replicated many times over around the world.” The process combines the flexibility of gasification with the efficiency of biological conversion of syngas into fuels or chemicals.
