The
first time Ashkelon was struck by Palestinian Arab hatred-rockets was on July 5, 2006. An empty high school
was hit, and then prime minister Ehud
Olmert called it an "escalation of unprecedented
gravity". It clearly was. But gravity, precedent and Israel's reality
have gone through considerable changes - for the worse - since then.
We have not heard reports of injuries or property damage from this
morning's terrorism, but since injuries (or worse) and property damage are what
the terrorists seek, and since they have access to an almost unimaginably large
stockpile of rockets, mortars and other weaponry, worse results would seem to
be inevitable.
Unless they're stopped.

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.
