I've Been Thinking:

This morning 3 Qassam rockets were shot from Gaza and landed in Israel.

The rockets landed in the Ashkelon beach region. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Incidents of this kind are not covered in the world press, they are hardly even covered in the local, domestic, Israeli press. Deaths and injuries are covered, not near misses. And yet, 3 rockets coming over a border with the intention of killing and terrifying as many people as possible is more than a casual incident.

These are acts of war and require retaliation. And the Israeli Air Force struck back attacking 2 sites in Gaza.

But something is wrong with the picture.

The US and the world are pushing Israel to make concessions and compromises and the Palestinians are creating unity between Hamas and the PA. And all the while Hamas keeps shooting rockets into Israel.
