What’s the similarity between Kassam rockets and Sderot high school children? They both strike (the latter with good reason).
“Gorilla Boy” Ahmadinjad is still ranting and raving, claiming that a great war to wipe out Israel is coming soon. He has also claimed that more than 50% of Israel was destroyed in the recent Hizbullah-Israeli war. He may have an engineering degree, but I’m guessing math is not his strong suit.
A palestinian terrorist has been seized in Jerusalem carrying an explosive belt with a liquid material, preventing it from being detected by a metal detector. It is rumored that Arnold Schwartznegger will be coming to Israel to advise on how to deal with this threat.
Misguided moral equivocations are not solely the province of the mainstream media and international community.
Spain, Italy and France are to launch a new Mideast peace initiative. This should be good.
I’m very impressed with Noam Shalit’s courage and insight. What a shame you have to remain so cynical. Do you really believe that *every* Palestinian is a terrorist? Then again, maybe Shalit’s just trying to get his kid back…
One of my pet peeves are people who set up strawman arguments. I never claimed that all palestinians are terrorists. Noam Shalit said “‚ÄúI feel that the Atamna family and the other families who lost their loved ones are exactly like the Slotzker family in Sderot and my family in the Galilee.” He is equivocating accidental IDF fatalities (resulting from terrorists hiding in population centers), with terrorists deliberate firing at civilians.
I will give cut him some slack because of his grief, but no-one is above criticism.

I think you mean “province” by the way.
