Four Palestinian missiles fired from Gaza early Thursday, seven Wednesday. No one hurt. That makes over 40 since the ceasefire went into effect. But only Israel has ceased firing.
The last three missiles detonated on the Israeli side of the Sufa crossing into Gaza and south of Ashkelon.
The first landed near Mefalsim, the second and third in Sderot and Kibhutz Erez. PM Ehud Olmert said in Jerusalem that Israel cannot stay passive much longer in the face of these attacks. More than 40 missiles have been fired at Israeli civilian locations since the purported ceasefire declared by Palestinian armed groups last month.
When will the Israelis act responsibly and fight back?

The Jews got the Mandate for Palestine set up for the express purpose of establishing the Jewish National Home, which would inexorably become, all parties realized, in time a Jewish state. It did not seem wrong then, and does not seem wrong now, that the Jews should have a state of their own. They asked only for the right to have no barriers put up to their immigration, and no barriers put in the way of their buying land. That was it. That was the sum total of what they demanded.
Until the 1948 war, when five Arab armies attacked, not a single dunam of Arab-owned land (and remember that nearly 90% of the land, in any case, remained the possession of the state or the ruling authority, as in the Mandatory period) was appropriated. No one should dare to write about this subject without having done the research on demography, land ownership, and law.
The Israeli claim to the West Bank (as Judea and Samaria were carefully renamed by Jordan after 1948, in precisely the same way.

Jakepi would bring us back to the era when our enemies would kill Jews and no one would fight back. Today, the Islamic terrorists attack and plan to attack Israel and Israelis at will, including firing missiles and sending suicide bombers.
These murderous Arabs must be eliminated before they murder more Israelis--this is called being a ticking bomb. That is not called nonsense like "killing some poor Palestinian or Arab Islamic person somewhere!" It's called self-defense!
