Rockets Again Land in Israel
By Micah Halpern

Sunday September 12, 2010

I've Been Thinking:

In Israel the Jewish New Year was ushered in with an unfortunate "bang" in areas that border the Palestinian Hamas controlled Gaza Strip.

Since Wednesday, the eve of Rosh Hashanah, four rockets have landed inside Jewish communities. One landed in a kindergarten - no one was hurt because of the Holiday. People who live in the agricultural communities called kibbutzim had their Holiday destroyed by rocket fire.

The residents of these communities had their silence shattered just as direct talks between Palestinians and Israelis, under United States sponsorship, are to commence. On Tuesday Israelis and Palestinians are scheduled to meet in the Egyptian resort of Sharm el Sheik.

The Jewish High Holidays are a time for contemplation and family. The High Holidays are a period of valuable introspection and evaluation.

Even the most optimistic family that had hopes for a sustained peace now has serious reservations. Rocket attacks do not bode well for peace.
