The Shin Bet (the Israeli Security Agency) has reported a 70% increase in the monthly rate of terrorist attacks on Israelis in the Jerusalem area, and Judea and Samaria. 139 attacks were recorded during February, 38 of them in Jerusalem. Most were by fire-bomb (aka Molotov cocktail or improvised incendiary weapon). In December 2012, there were 112 attacks.

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.
