…the rockets continue:
6:10PM: A short time ago, palestinian terrorists fired yet another Qassam into Israel.
I guess the bomb-the-smuggling-tunnel approach is not working so well.
5:30PM: A short time ago, the IAF struck some smuggling tunnels. I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
11:12AM: Two houses were damaged in the Qassam attacks earlier this morning. While no-one was injured, some Sderot residents were treated for shock.
9:22AM: Today’s palestinian rocket firing shenanigans have begun, with 2 Qassams hitting Israel.
IAF smuggling tunnel strikes to begin later.
The money flows foolishly:
Israel recently approved the transfer of NIS 175 million ($41.8 million) in order to pay the salaries of Fatah government workers in Gaza, but Ynet learned Thursday night that about half of the funds were used to compensate residents whose houses were damaged by Israel Defense Forces fire during Operation Cast Lead.
Ten days after the money was transferred, not one penny has been deposited in the Palestinian Authority workers’ bank accounts in Gaza.
And Israellcool is shocked shocked! (Well not really)
In the words of Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Eli Yishai:
“The pathetic desire to create a partner on the Palestinian side has led to an absurd and shocking situation, in which the State of Israel is compensating the Palestinians for Operation Cast Lead before transferring funds to compensate the residents of southern Israel.”
What makes this even more absurd and shocking is that many of the homes damaged during Operation Cast Lead belonged to terrorists or terror-enablers.
Hey don’t worry Israel, our President will provide the next 900 Million.
Just a reminder anyone who thinks that the rockets have stopped isn’t paying attention. I’m waiting to hear about the pacifist left forming a group of human shields to protect Sderot. Anyone? Bueller, Bueller.
