Radio and television news reports in the past hour (it's now 8.30am) are reporting a high-level terror alert in Jerusalem and surrounding areas. We hear helicopters buzzing northern Jerusalem's skies, police sirens from the highway in the valley below where we live, and reports of roadblocks at the entrances to the city. The main roads that we can see from our windows are all jammed with slow-moving traffic. All of this stems from intelligence reports of a terrorist making his way to where the largest numbers of potential victims can be found. Won't make the news anywhere (unless you know what happens); just part of this ongoing war.
UPDATE: Alert dropped at 9.15 this morning. Still no details.

Like many sites that advocate for a moderate, Israel-friendly viewpoint, we unfortunately receive abusive, offensive and racist messages on a routine basis. We want it to be clear that we reserve the right to reject them in our absolute discretion. Racist and Israel-hating sites abound on the web. So not being allowed to play in our sandbox can hardly be called a hardship. Anonymous postings or messages where email address of the poster is hidden from us will generally not be accepted.
