Rockets kill another civilian in Israel

One of the 43 Qassam rockets fired into Israel from Gaza so far today killed a student. Other rockets wounded some kids. Homes and a factory were badly damaged by the barrage. A direct hit was scored on a cafeteria moments after people left.



In response to this brutal war crime targetting civilians, the Israeli government announced their commitment to peace and stepped up shipments of fuel, electricity, and food to the Iranian-sponsored terrorists firing rockets at civilians from Gaza. Yosi Beilin called on the government to enter serious peace talks with the Islamist terrorist group to discuss a long-term commitment by Israel to use no military action against terrorists.


Here the medical crew is trying unsuccessfully to resuscitate the dead student. Medical crews did rescue a kids arm from amputation, though.

The NYTimes and other US media area studiously ignoring the rocket fire and carnage. More than 800 rockets and mortar shells have been fired from Gaza into Israel since 1/1/08. About 2,300 were fired at Israel during all of 2007.

I can't imagine what the US response to Mexico would be if hundreds of rockets and shells rained down on San Diego from across the border.
