Rocket Attacks
Aussie Dave | Jun 28, 2004 | 4 comments
The PLO Arab terrorists are at it again, this time murdering a 3-year-old child and 50-year-old man after firing two Qassam rockets at Sderot. At least 9 people were also injured.
One of the rockets – fired by Palestinians militants in the Gaza Strip – landed close to a kindergarten in the Neveh Eshkol neighborhood, and the second hit a nearby coffeeshop. The rockets landed just a kilometer from Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s private ranch.
The source and destination of the rockets is very telling. They were fired from the Gaza Strip – expect much more of the same if the so-called Disengagement Plan goes through. And they were fired at/near a kindergarten and coffeeshop. I will allow you to draw your own conclusions about what this tells you about the perpetrators.

Sheesh. Now these Arab terrorists don’t even have the guts to blow themselves up as suicide bombers, preferring to let their RPGs do the work for them.
This is a major headache. Even this “small scale” terror attack is grave reminder. For once the attackers might eventually get lucky and score a major hit. What should Israel’s reaction be? What should the reaction be now? There is no doubt that there must be a reaction, and I think a severe one. Otherwise, Israel will lose all of her deterrence. What are the options in the current political climate?
Secondly, what will the situation look like after the withdrawal from Gaza? What happens if kassam rockets or a more powerful equivalent (katiusha)will be fired from the Weset Bank towards main population center over the fence?
Without a properly established deterrent I’m affraid that the violence will escalate very fast.
What exactly is Israel supposed to gain by evacuating the Gaza strip, again?
Leave Palestine for the Palestinians and go and live peacfuly in your original home lands, face it you are not Middle Easterns and the equation is very simple they will find a way to get to you and hurt as much as you hurt them and the more of their civilians you kill the more they will kill from yours they might have killed a 3 year old but you have killed far more far younger and far older they did not come to you and occupied your lands you did remember that very well.
