11-Jun-06: Still More Qassams

Terrorists in Gaza showing off their Qassams

Media attention in this region is focused on the deaths of Palestinian children on a Gaza beach yesterday.

No one actually knows yet whether this was due to Israeli fire or Palestinian. And if it was Israeli, no sane observer thinks the killings were desired by Israel or deliberate.

Still, the bile, the political hypocrisy and the media doublespeak are in full evidence as the Gaza beach deaths remain the focus. Meanwhile far from the spotlight - as usual - the terrorists continue with their 100% deliberate, 100%-civilian-directed bombardment of Israeli villages and towns. 19 Qassam missiles land in Israel in the past 24 hours. The last two rockets strike at around 9:45 pm Saturday night near Kibbutz Alumim and Kibbutz Be'eri, both of them in the western Negev.

The missiles came from the northern part of the Gaza Strip. Miraculously (again) no damage or injuries. A third Qassam struck inside Palestinian territory ("fell short").

Anonymous said...: If Israel had wanted to obliterate the entire Gazan population, it could have done it with ease. This does not mean Israel wants to. But just imagine if the firepower of the Israelis ever found its way to the Palestinian's hands. Unthinkable!!!; Sunday, June 11, 2006

About us

THIS ONGOING WAR is not part of the activity of the Malki Foundation which was founded by us, Frimet and Arnold Roth of Jerusalem, on September 11, 2001. But it is inspired by the same tragic circumstances. The Malki Foundation (also known by its Hebrew name: Keren Malki) is a memorial to the life of our daughter, Malki who was murdered at the age of 15 in a massacre in the centre of Jerusalem carried out by Hamas.

Beyond its function as a remembrance of a beautiful life, the foundation provides tangible, concrete, invaluable support daily to several thousand Israeli families from every part of the religious and socio-economic spectrum: Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze and others who care at home for a seriously disabled child.

Good for the soul | The Malki Foundation

If you care to make a positive and constructive contribution to the care of Israeli children with special needs - whether they're Christian, Moslem, Jewish, Druze or unconnected to any particular faith community - you can't do better than direct your donation to the work of the Malki Foundation.

It's the charitable organization we, the bloggers who produce This Ongoing War, established in 2001 in memory of our murdered daughter. Her name is Malki.

Keren Malki (in Hebrew, Keren means 'foundation' or 'fund') is efficient, effective, non-sectarian, non-political and unique in the good work it does. Thousands of families from every part of our richly diverse society here in Israel have benefited in concrete and meaningful ways. Donations to Keren Malki are tax-effective in Israel, Canada, UK and the United States.

There's also plenty of background at www.malkifoundation.org as well as on the Malki Foundation Blog.
