9-Mar-12: Rain, hail, sleet or snow - the thugs are always ready to fire in the general Israeli direction

It's a magnificent, early-spring day here. Reminder: there are only two kinds of weather that the terrorists consider to be ideal: good weather and bad weather.

Two Qassam rockets fired from the Hamas-controlled, terrorism-addicted Gaza Strip crashed into open areas of southern Israel's Eshkol region [Ynet] around 1:00 pm today. At this stage, there are no reports of injury or damage - just terrified civilians, fed up with the constant hail of lethal weapons from the thugs on the other side of the fence.

Consult CHALLAH HU AKBAR'S COUNTER: ROCKET ATTACKS ON ISRAEL, the widget on the right side of this and every other page of the This Ongoing War blog, to get an up-to-date numeric sense of what the appalling Gazan Arab regime wishes for its neighbours. And notice how today's attack and most of those that came before it make no impact whatever on news reports outside our country.

On the other hand, if and when Israel's military decides to strike back at the storage facilities that hold the thousands of Gazan Palestinian Arab missiles, watch how the news and photo editors spring to life.

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.
