Today's post By Steven Plaut of Zionist Conspiracy.
I am writing this in between ducking in and out of the bomb shelter as Haifa is bathed by the Katyusha rockets and other missiles that Ehud Barakhas now fired at the city....
It occurred to me that now would be as good a time as any to sum up everything that has been learned about the Middle East conflict, that is, everything that the Israeli government and chattering classes refused to learn for the past two decades.
1. Nice fences do not stop missiles, rockets, and mortars.
30. The only country on earth that is expected to respond to mass murder of its civilians through turning of the other cheek is Israel. The only country on earth that spent many years trying to defeat aggression and terrorism by turning the other cheek is Israel.
31. No matter how Israel responds to aggression and terrorism, it will always be a "disproportionate" response.
32. Those who claim that anti-Zionism is different and distinct from anti-Semitism are anti-Semites.
33. The only people on earth whom the Left believes should be denied the right to self-determination and self-defense are the Jews.
34. "Palestinians" are not a people and never were. They are simply Arabs who happened to migrate into historic Western Palestine. They have no right whatsoever to statehood.
More than 800 missiles in 3 days. Thanks for the link Smooth.

Waaaah!
We were 10 minutes out of Kiryat Shmoneh on Wednesday, having a lovely vacation when we heard the rocket attacks begin in the morning...
Trying not to hyperventilate and fending off the Mother of All panic attacks as I read the news,

DH and I just had this discussion last night on the way to dinner. What a world. So hard to explain to the kids about where things may go from here, right?

Anytime, Zib... Thanks for linking it.

Great link Zib. DH and I, naturally, are very concerned about this war. It's only a matter of time before the whack-jobs,Syria and Iran, decide to up the ante. Once again, the UN (what a joke) not backing them up. Israel has every right to fight these terrorists that call themselves the "Palestinians".

We were just watching the news about this, and Hubby asked me, "At what point do we decide to cancel our trip to Italy b/c it's too close to all that mess?" Not really sure. I'm thinking it's still OK. Sigh. Peace in the Middle East? It would take a miracle...

Ali, the whack jobs have already chimed in.....My prayers are with Israel.

I hadn't seen the news this weekend and yes Kay I now see that the rockets they shot last week were Iranian missiles.
Erica it's interesting that you and your DH question the safety of your trip to Italy. This "new" war makes my Dh and I question living on the coast of the U.S. It really makes us think of moving up our plans to move to the mid-west. We are starting to re-evaluate our lives in general.
Sorry Zib for turning this into a discussion board. Hey, maybe you should have a discussion board. Whoo, would that get out of hand. ;)

well being this close - relatively speaking - is worrysome for reasons I can't blog about. Ali, no probs sharing concerns, you're always welcome :)
Erica will be here domani! Yay! (and the missiles the "party of god" are using don't reach this far, at least, that we are aware of).

Yep. Horrible.
The places Nate and I had our first, second and third dates have been bombed.
Netanya, Hadera.
