Gaza Fires Rocket at Ashkelon
INN ^ | 3/31/11 | Gil Ronen

After two days of relative quiet on the Gaza front, Gaza terrorists fired a short range missile into Israel Thursday. It exploded south of Ashkelon, but caused no casualties or damage. Israeli security forces are looking for the remains of the rocket. The Iron Dome system, which is supposed to protect against missile strikes, is currently only stationed near Be'er Sheva. It did not go into action.

IAF jets attacked a terrorist cell in Gaza Wednesday, in response to the rocket fire Tuesday. An Islamic Jihad terrorist was killed. Arab sources said the man was killed east of Rafiah.

As I understand it, the Israelis are moving the Iron Dome systems around so as not to encourage attaches on areas not protected.

Needless to say, NATO won't be concerned with Hamas' targeting of civilians, it's what they do. And the civilians are Jews, not Arabs.

My solution would be to allow the formation of a Palestinian State. Then, when the first rocket/missile hits Israel it is an act of war from one nation against another. I would then officially declare war on “Palestine”, kill them all, take back all the land and tell the UN to piss off. But, I am an evil Zionist plotting to take over the world ya’ know.....

Your post echoes my thoughts exactly.

And that scenario, besides the muslims not accepting the idea of a Jewish state at all, is the reason that there WON’T be a palestinian state.
