The Palestinians say that Israeli collaborators are firing qassam rockets into Sderot to try to disrupt the peace process and attack Gaza.

Now I'm no big fan of ole' Hamas but:
These qassam 'firecrackers' conveniently,NEVER seem to hurt any of the Israelis to any PHYSICAL EXTREME,probably because they always have AERIAL alarms that warn them to run for cover,and the 'firecrackers' just land in empty fields and make tiny craters,the size of footballs,a bit of dust,BANDAID TO THE FOREHEAD AND A BIG CUDDLE to quell their fears,and calm their shaking.Then back to school or dinner!
You know! no Israeli kids/adults usually have to be 'carted off'(literally) to hospital with blown off limbs,sniper bullet in the brain,open abdominal wounds etc etc,GOD FORBID ANY PERSON/CHILD GO THROUGH THAT HELL! But,UNFORTUNATELY:
Compare that,to EACH TIME Israels fire on the Palestinians,(remember,WITH NO AERIAL ALARMS BEFORE,so no time to run for cover)with armoured tank shells(loaded with nails and other dispersing metal shrapnel),Oh! and don't forget those BRAND NEW F-16's,and Israeli built unmanned drones(like the ones found in South Ossetia recently)zooming overhead,with their little explosive'pressies',from Tel Aviv or Haifa! And the white phosphorous gas(CHEMICAL WEAPONRY that burns),or 1 ton bombs that kill dozens,flatten BLOCKS of houses AT ONCE,(quicker than bulldozers)and injure SCORES of Palestinians,who THEN have to ATTEMPT to get to hospitals in rare ambulances with a half-pint of gas(cooking oil)in the tank,OR JUST GRAB a donkey,if one is still alive!
Then,they get to the Palestinian Red Crescent Centers where SURPRISE,SURPRISE,the Israelis HAVEN'T allowed any medical supplies in,or anaesthetic for when they have to operate(which is a luxury).
Oh! and when you think REFRIDGERATORS! Think:
Israeli fridges,in the home,filled with HEALTHY meat,fruit and vegetables!Buzzing with electricity.
Palestinian fridges---filled with unhealthy BODIES,in the morgue! NO ELECTRICITY USUALLY!
Bush had the right word for it,all too quickly,when condemning Russia's retaliation to Georgias attack. "Disproportionate".
It came VERY quickly,and STERNLY/STAUNCHLY to his lips!
Bettya he wasn't thinking that when it comes to ISRAEL attacking Paletinians!
Different boots for different feet eh George?
Maybe Israeli "collaborators" is right?
After all Israelis wouldn't WANT to hurt their OWN. Just make it look 'good' enough for the front-page and as an excuse to STOMP in and kill and maim MORE Palestinian women and children.
Hey! those "collaborators" that fired the qassams into Sderot COULD be the Israeli-paid foreign bedouin Arabs that drive the Caterpillar Bulldozers that CONSTANTLY flatten the Palestinian properties(and residents,activists often,along with them)?
Always remember the FACTS. The relative/comparable damage here.
Keep it in PROPORTION to remember HOW "DISPROPORTIONATE" the damage is!
God Forbid,
When you hear of a qassam rocket landing?
Think,"scratch on the little finger/Bandaid"
God Forbid,
When the Israelis fire back,think," both WHOLE arms/legs GONE!
Patient dead OR dying".Parents and siblings grieving,HOUSE and possessions GONE! Into dust!
All the statistics are there with B'TSelem on their website.
Very educational,though horrifying!
The way of the world,Israeli style! Oh,if it were ONLY not so!
Peace,Salaam,Shalom!
