20-Mar-11: And now come the heavy Gazan rockets fired into Israel

Ashkelon from the air
Today may be Purim, an otherwise happy festival day.

But we happen to be in the midst of a steady escalation of violence and aggression from the Hamastan terrorists of the Gaza Strip. This evening (Sunday) after several days of intense mortar fire, a Grad-class rocket fired from Gaza exploded in the southern Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon. Several Israelis suffered shock. Ynet says an elderly woman was injured while attempting to take cover. No damage was reported.

There's little doubt this is not the end of the matter.

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.
