Once again, a Palestinian Arab rocket is fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel at about 6.30 today, Sunday morning, this one crashing close to the Erez Crossing. No injuries or serious damage.
For the teeming Gazan population, Erez is a critically important gateway into and out of the Strip . It might be interesting to analyze why terrorists would want to damage it (as they have damaged other cross-overs repeatedly in the past six years), but the reality is the Qassam rockets they fire are the equivalent of heavy, blunt instruments. PA president Mahmoud Abbas absurdly calls them "pipes" (see "Pipedreams and Pipe-nightmares"), but while incapable of accuracy because of their lack of a guidance system, they are deadly weapons which give articulate expression to the hateful, violent outlook of the thugs who have already fired hundreds of them into Israeli towns and houses in the past two years.

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.
