5-Jul-12: The terrorists of Gaza routinely mis-fire, dropping rockets on their Arab neighbors's heads. When do you hear about those self-inflicted injuries?

Please look closely at this scene from Gaza. Using human shields
is a standard terrorist practice in which the thugs of Hamas
(like the one in the center of this picture) excel. Why do
the self-inflicted Gazan injuries and deaths get so little attention
from the hordes of reporters and photographers covering
their side of this ongoing war?

In the course of checking out the details of this morning's rocket or mortar attack on Israel's Eshkol region, we noticed that there was an attack at about the same time yesterday (Wednesday).

How do we know? Because an NGO called GANSO, reports online about threats to public safety and to the welfare of the workers employed by what are termed 'humanitarian organizations' inside the Gaza Strip. It refers to 120 such 'humanitarian' organizations. GANSO is funded (€450,000 this year) by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Humanitarian Aid (ECHO).

Consulting the GANSO site, we note that yesterday morning

"07/04/2012 08:10 Pal. ops. fired 2 mortar shells from MA toward Kissufim; 1 of them dropped short. No injuries reported."

That's an unedited, direct copy/paste from their site. We interpret it to mean Palestinian terrorists ("ops.") indiscriminately fired off two mortar rounds in the general direction of the other side of the fence, intending to hit something (anything) Jewish or Israeli in the vicinity of Kissufim (the name of a kibbutz as well as a border crossing point near it). As happens, one of those fell short and exploded on the Hamas side of the border. As far as they can tell, no one was hurt. From a quick survey, we note that similar such "fell shorts" are reported in the GANSO records for June 21, June 20 (several) and June 19.

So how often do Gaza's Palestinian Arab terrorists end up hitting their own parents, children, spouses or neighbors? Do you see these self-inflicted losses reported in the news media that serve your community?

Keep the questions in mind the next time you hear of injuries or deaths in Gaza along with Israeli denials of involvement. Because now you know what the savages of the Gazan terrorist groups do to their own. And how rare it is to see such matters reach the news.

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.
