Today in Sderot

 Today in Sderot

Sixteen rockets into Sderot by lunchtime, after 30 the day before. What would you do if you were a self-respecting nation?

UPDATE: See also Brad Greenberg’s post today, “Visit Sderot: Zionism Reborn,” and the linked posts there about his visit to Sderot last summer: “it’s difficult to grasp the precariousness of life along the Gaza border unless you visit.”

Perhaps, as Dr. Chemical suggests in a comment below, the Israeli government should have to live there until they decide what to do.
