Peace-seeking misunderstanderers of Islam rocket Israel for third straight day; 200,000 students ordered to stay home

I wonder how residents of, say, Texas would react to days of rocket fire from Mexico?

Residents of southern Israel suffered another day under siege on Sunday as Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired about 50 more rockets at the Negev.

Two Grad-type Katyusha rockets fell in Be'er Sheva after the Iron Dome battery that had been protecting it suffered a technical malfunction...

...One rocket hit a school, which was empty since schools in the city were closed Sunday, and the other hit a parked car. Fifteen people were treated for shock, though there were no other casualties. The rockets - and the ball bearings that they ejected hundreds of meters - caused heavy damage to buildings and vehicles...

...Since Friday, 104 rockets were fired toward Israel, 43 of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome defense systems. The IAF carried out 23 strikes in the Gaza Strip.

...Some 200,000 pupils will remain at home again on Monday, as schools remain closed in Be'er Sheva, Ofakim, Ashdod, Yavneh, Ashkelon, Kiryat Malakhi and Netivot, and in all the other smaller communities that are between seven and 40 kilometers from the Gaza Strip.

Until these barbaric throwbacks are sufficiently punished, there will be no peace anywhere, least of all in the Middle East. Because it pays.

  1. No need to worry - Obama said he has Israel's back.

  2. 43 Iron Dome intercepts? No way, this can't be! We were *told* that hitting a bullet with a bullet was impossible, not even trillions of trillions of dollars poured into R&D would come close. Don't tell me these Great Minds could be....wrong?
