Palestinian missiles slam into Sderot

2006-11-25

(KUNA) -- Palestinian factions continued on Friday missile attacks on Isreli settlements North of Gaza in a retaliatory measure for the occupation army's wide military operations in Gaza Strip. Meanwhile three Palestinian factions said in separate statements issued here today that Israeli settlements were targets of more missile attacks.

The Qassam brigades, the military wing for the Islamic Hamas movement, said two "Qassam" rockets were fired at the Israeli Southern settlement of Sderot late last night. The al Quds brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad movement, also said a medium-range rocket code-named "al Quds" was fired on the same settlement at dawn Friday. Israel's army reported today that two rockets that were fired from the Northern parts of Gaza Strip have slammed into the settlement of Sderot inflicting damages to its commercial centre.

I occasionally wonder what would happen if the Israeli government provided the citizens of Sderot with simple rockets and explosives and told them to go ahead and launch them in the general direction of Gaza. I'm sure there would be an international outcry, but at least they'd be trading rockets with the Paleos instead of just standing on the receiving end like sheep.

#6 Start cutting services provided to Paleos for every rocket fired. First shut off the hyedro. Second rocket, turn of the water. Then deny access to any hospital. Cut acces to jobs, education, any doctor. Halt food.

For every seven days without attqack, restore 1 service. Then remove it the next day whan another rocket flies in.

Paleo's should not accept any service from a country they won't recognize. No "recognizing" water, hydro, food, etc.

#4 Peretz is some defense minister. Isn't Sderot his home town? Sheeit, mon. Missiles slam into his neighbor's house and he does nothing? This guy has no survival instinct. The Israeli people better do something about Olmert and Co, and quick. Gaza is hostile and becoming very frisky, and southern Lebanon is back up to its prewar strength, or is becoming so, with the help of the French and UNIFIL forces.

There WILL be another war and Israel will be backed into a corner. Syria is becoming stronger, due to the weakness of Israel and the US. And Israel TALKS of targetting leaders in surgical strikes. That worked real well. It is crunch time. The Islamists smell weakness and they are exploiting it. They don't have much in their playbooks but they are using what they have. We have the technology, materiel, logistics, and personnel, and we use barely a fraction of our assets. We don't have the collective will to do what is necessary to survivie. So who are the smart ones here?

#3 The Olmert government would subsidize sandbagging the roof of your house.

Peretz said yesterday that he was willing to move from defense to finance. If he handles the exchequer the same way he's handled defense Israel's well on its way to being Zim.

#2 A shameful exhibition of the poverty of thought emanating from the Olmert Regime. I mean this has to stop! I live in Tucson...what if the Mexicans were firing missiles from Nogales, Sonora? How long would it last? (I realize I am opening myself up to sarcasm to the effect that the Mexicans are currently colonizing Arizona at any event...)

#1 Fred,

A noted religious Zionist rabbi has advocated arming ungoverned civil defense groups in western Negev communities to fight back against Kassam rocket attacks from northern Gaza.

Rabbi Yisrael Rosenne, director of the Tzomet Technology and Jewish Law Institute in Alon Shvut, says that arming civilians and permitting them to fire back at the terrorists would be a proper way to stop the attacks from terrorizing residents in southern Israel "if the government were in 'Jewish' - and not necessarily religious - hands."
