13-Jan-08: Sunday evening terror round-up

Eight mortar shells were fired into Israel by Gaza-based Palestinian Arab terrorists this afternoon. Two landed in the grounds of Kibbutz Netiv Ha'asara, one damaging a residence. Six others crashed into open ground near the Erez Crossing that connects Gaza with Israel. Two Qassam rockets were also fired into Israel today; one landed in an undisclosed open-field location while the second crashed into Hamas-controlled Gaza territory; no injuries, no damage. Elsewhere today, Israeli Border Guard forces neutralized a Palestinian Arab woman carrying a hidden 12-inch (30cm) kitchen knife as she tried to enter Hebron's Machpelah Cave, one of the Jewish world's four holiest sites. A day literally does not go by without terrorist attacks like these by Palestinian-Arab thugs. Making matters steadily and measurably worse, Gaza has ready access to a growing supply of lethal weaponry via a vast and proliferating network of tunnels dug literally under the noses of the Egyptians; the Christian Science Monitor describes the charade in a feature article ("Gaza tunnel smugglers stay busy") to appear in tomorrow's edition.

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.
