The people of Sderot's suffering is ignoredJan 24th, 2008 - 03:47:52

Ever since Israel withdrew from Gaza the southern part of Israel including the city of Sderot have been bombarded by rockets fired by the Palestinians at the city. The Hamas leadership has not stopped this violence, and therefore is responsible for any retaliatory measures Israel has had to take. No self- respecting country can allow its citizens to be under constant bombardment. In fact many in Israel feel the present Government has failed by not moving to militarily quash the terrorists in Gaza. In any case the Palestinians usually policy of doing violence and crying out at how they are the victims has worked again in public relations terms. This does not change the fact that their evil refusal to live in peace with Israel is the basic cause of the conflict.

Hey blokes I am al-fungus... The other al guy above has stolen my tag so I assume he must be a hamas. So be it.
I am a bit curious how the Arab media can claim that civilians were injured (showing a picture of a guy with a black mask holding an AK-47 being carried into hospital). That must be the 2008 designer look for Gaza men. I can't wait to see it on the runways in The Paris fashion season this spring. Oh Brother the world is tired of hearing about the plight of the POOR Palestine when they have been more a victim of there own corruption. Where is the 3 Billion dollars that Arafat and the fat boys stole???? Mrs. Arafat knows......
One last thought… What organization/government would launch rockets at neighboring country expecting retaliation and in the process put your civilians in between the fighting and in harms way?? I thought governments are supposed to protect their people??? These Hamas do not care about their people or anything else therefore they are not a legitimate government. If the people support these Hamas then they are part of the fight and expect to be in the fight. The world should ask these questions. The Hamas could never exist in peace, they only kill…ask the Fatah
