Who in their right mind (no pun intended) would believe that Mofaz is concerned about the welfare of the people about to gather in S'derot? This is the same immoral defense!minister who allows the terrorists to attack the citizens of S'derot unceasingly, and the Jewish Gaza residents with impunity. No one should pay him any mind. He is a defense minister for the PA interests, not Jewish interests.

Families in my neighborhood are already organizing to go to the demonstration and to spend Shabbat in Ofakim. The police will have to be there for the duration.

It's a terrible thing that we are seeing in the last few weeks. We are seeing the same cynical use of children that we have seen for years with the Palestinians. This is what we have allowed to fester and grow in our country. How long will it be before we see Police raids on fanatical Yeshivot and Midrashot in Israel? We are seeing a new type of fanatical, radical, Jewish movement that puts it's own purposes before the State of Israel. Unfortunately these people are supported by naive religious Zionists who see it as an attack on their religious Zionism. It's not and it's not religious Zionism. Real Zionists would have gone to LIVE in Sderot and Ofakim, not to visit. Why are these towns Ghost towns? Because their budgets have gone to Gaza settlements ! It's group of Fanatical Rabbi's preaching a new philosophy of Jewish fundamentalism that will demand a Fundamental Jewish state, on parallel to Iran. It's a sad fact that in long, ongoing conflicts, each side usually ends up copying the enemies tactics and morals descend to the lowest level. That's why we have to isolate ourselves from the Palestinian Arabs, and get closer to Europe and the USA. We are slowly sinking into the moral quagmire of the Middle East.

thereare many targets in the north to get the police up yo hagalil
