Rockets strike Beersheba kindergarten
2008-12-31
Palestinian terrorists on Tuesday night fired at least two rockets at Beersheba, adding some 250,000 residents of the largest city in the Negev into the ever-widening range of the rockets attacks. There were no reports of casualties in the attack but one of the rockets landed in a kindergarten, causing damage. Rescue forces were searching for the impact site of another rocket.

Meanwhile, one person was lightly wounded by shrapnel when two Grad rockets impacted in the center of Ashkelon. The rocket caused extensive damage was caused to nearby businesses and vehicles. Earlier, Hamas-fired rockets landed in Ashdod and Ashkelon, where two people were killed in attacks Monday.

#4  According to the way the MSM is spinning this thing, it's only a war crime if the US or Isreal creates a civilian casualty with collateral damage.

Of course most of these knuckle dragging morons in the Islamofascist/Terrorist school of thought don't wear freaking uniforms so what's with reporting "civilian" casualties in the reports on this dust up?

When's the last time any of the "major" networks or Al-Jazerra West (CNN) even used the word terrorist to describe these nut jobs?

Isreal has a right to blast these monsters because they deliberately target soft targets such as schools, hospitals and residential areas.

#3  I'm not a human rights activist (praise be to Allan), but I'm pretty sure that attacks directed solely at civilian populations are considered war crimes, no matter the lameness of your equipment or excuses. If war crimes sounds a little harsh this early in the morning, then let's just call it attempted mass murder.

#1  I saw some muslim guy on TV saying how the Kassams were so primitive compared to Israeli capabilities that he didn't know what all the fuss was about.
