Rockets launched from Gaza fell in Sderot

I thought Israel had evacuated everyone from Sdrot as one of the first cities before the mobilization of reservists?!

These desperate launch of rockets that only cause fear and anger is not going to help Palestinians in any way.

But I guess, it is their desperate show of defiance against the military might of Israel, to show that they are still fighting.

If the peace deal between Arafat and Shamir was not just a sham sell out by Arafat to gain status in delusion of having a Palestinian state, and included real issues such as status of #Jerusalem, disbanding of illegal settlements and the compensation or plan for millions of refugees to have the right to return, there could be a real #peace between the two nations.

Unfortunately, #Shamir was killed and Ariel #Sharon the butcher of #Sabra and #Chatila became PM of Israel and killed #Arafat together with any hope of a real Palestinian state. Ever since then, situation has gone from bad to worse and more than half the population of occupied territories who were born after that "peace deal" have only seen betrayal after betrayal, followed by uprising, brutal crack down and expansion of illegal Jewish #settlements.

The corrupt and useless #PA who turned into extended hands of apartheid regime lost it's power to the radical Hamas that gave Israel the excuse to put a deadly blockade against Gaza and turning into the world largest prison.

From then, we have only seen the spiral of violence on both sides, with the rise of serial liar and corrupt politician #Netanyahu who now have legitimized #Kahanist terrorist group in Israel while the "world" not only given up on a just and lasting peace between the 2 groups, but an unconditioned support of the most extreme form of #fascism in Israel while condemning the same escalation among Palestinians.

10s of thousands of people have died (the vast majority of them Palestinians), many more maimed by #IDF shooting on knee-caps and eyes of protesters for decades (an escalation of #Sharon's breaking the bones of palestinian kids to prevent them from participating in the first #Intifada).

Today we see the bloodiest escalation of this conflict, a level of violence that has gone beyond any laws of war and once again, the "world community" seems to be only condemning one side while cowardly "aaking" Israel to be merciful.

The mullahs in #Iran joyfully watching the conflict turn into a regional war in their wet dream of liberating Palestine or turn the world on fire (like their American evangelical christians) to enter the dooms day and return of #Mahdi (12rh imam of Shia) or #Jesus for the christian crazies.

All with 0 care about the suffering and death they are causing.

I really miss Robert Fisk and his raiser sharp pen to remind the hypocrites of the west about the bloody history of Israeli "final solution" to their Palestinian "problem" since their creation in 1948.

This is what Edward Said wrote about this book:

With the Israeli-Palestinian crisis reaching wartime levels, where is the latest confrontation between these two old foes leading? #RobertFisk's explosive Pity the Nation recounts #Sharon and #Arafat's first deadly encounter in #Lebanon in the early 1980s and explains why the Israel–Palestine relationship seems so intractable. A remarkable combination of war reporting and analysis by an author who has witnessed the carnage of #Beirut for twenty-five years, Fisk, the first #journalist to whom bin Laden announced his jihad against the U.S., is one of the world's most fearless and honored foreign correspondents. He spares no one in this saga of the civil war and subsequent Israeli invasion: the #PLO, whose thuggish behavior alienated most Lebanese; the various Lebanese factions, whose appalling brutality spared no one; the Syrians, who supported first the Christians and then the Muslims in their attempt to control Lebanon; and the Israelis, who tried to install their own puppets and, with their 1982 invasion, committed massive war crimes of their own. It includes a moving finale that recounts the travails of Fisk's friend Terry Anderson who was kidnapped by #Hezbollah and spent 2,454 days in captivity. Fully updated to include the Israeli withdrawl from south Lebanon and Ariel Sharon's electoral victory over Ehud Barak, this edition has sixty pages of new material and a new preface. "Robert Fisk's enormous book about Lebanon's desperate travails is one of the most distinguished in recent times."—Edward Said
