27-Mar-08: Guns, rockets and memory

Twenty additional rocket attacks into southern Israel on Wednesday from the terrorists in Palestinian-Arab Gaza maintained their ongoing war of terror. Two people suffered injuries and nine others needed to be treated for shock after last night's volleys into the Sderot area, according to JPost. Another rocket crashed into the backyard of a kibbutz residence in the western Negev area causing damage to buildings. YNet says Islamic Jihad, the al-Quds Brigades and the Salah a-Din Brigades all claimed credit for the attacks. Separately, Gazan gunmen fired on Israeli farmers near Kibbutz Ein Hashlosha, causing injuries. Ignored by most media channels and most opinion-makers and opinion-holders in most places, these cold-blooded attacks on Israel and on Israelis are not so quickly forgotten by those who experience them personally. Thus, the thug who organized 2002's tragic attack on a Passover night celebration in 2002 that caused the deaths of 30 Israelis, many of them in their seventies and eighties, was captured by Israeli forces yesterday in the Tulkarm area. His deeds are unlikely to be forgotten as he is processed by Israel's justice system.

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.
