1. Under the rockets in Sderot.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.12.08)
One should be under the rockets in Sderot, just like all the other citizens of Sderot. and feel what it's like to be in Sderot and Ashkelon at these times, with the terrorists playing Russian rocket roulette with the lives of Israeli citizens. Israel should adopt a zero tolerance policy for rockets. Every rocket that flies from Gaza into Israel is a violation of UN Charter Article 51 - an armed attack giving Israel the full and complete right to proportional self-defense. Proportional doesn't mean equating lives; it just means that if they fire a rifle at you, you can't nuke them. It also doesn't mean that for every life taken, you can take one life, as the international community absurdly believes. It simply means that you don't react totally out of proportion, and neither do you look at the actual damage caused, but rather, you look at the risks of an attack. If each rocket can potentially kill 100 people, then just because they missed, it doesn't remove the risk that had been there. Israel doesn't have to wait until inevitably a rocket hits a school bus or a kindergarten or an ambulance; it can look at the risks, not just the actual consequences. We should adapt as described at : http://xrl.us/biz8x
2. Kibbutz/moshavim
simone ,   canada   (12.12.08)
Why do these briefs never mention which moshav or kibbutz was hit. Please do so, it sometimes makes it more meaningful and its a great way for us to know if family/freinds were affected. Thank you!
