| 8-year-old Kassam Victim Regains Consciousness |
| 2008-02-14 |
| Eight-year-old Osher Tuito regained consciousness Thursday and is now breathing on his own after days of surgery by doctors desperately trying to save his right leg. Surgeons were forced to amputate his left leg at the knee. A Kassam rocket attack on Sderot Saturday night seriously wounded both the young boy and his 19-year-old brother Rami. Rami also spent days on the operating table. Osher, whose name in Hebrew means "happiness," had been kept in a medically-induced coma and on a respirator in order to allow his body to heal from the multiple traumas and surgeries following the blast. Osher and RamiÂ’s mother and 15-year-old brother were also briefly hospitalized following the Kassam attack. Thirteen other residents were treated for severe emotional shock. |

| #2 Gazans blow the leg off a little boy and the world is silent... but stop giving those savages free oil and electricity and listen to the hypocrites howl with outrage. There is great evil loose in the world today. I keep feeling like it's 1938.... |
