Tonight, Toronto Jews and Christian Zionists rallied for Sderot and what a rally it was. Over 2000 people were in attendance including many high school and university students. They filled to capacity a huge hotel room.
For many of us, Sderot represents a news story about the daily rocket attacks and the question of when and how is Israel going to stop them.
No longer, at least for those in attendance. We were hooked up with the Community Hall in Sderot. Though it was three in the morning there, many residents of all ages with emphases on the youth, were in attendance and we all participated in a two way hook up.
A video was shown depicting the attempts of the residents including children, to live a normal life under the reality of the constant threat of incoming rockets. Apparently they receive about 15 seconds warning and have to immediate run to the nearest shelter. As a result everyone, children included, know where every shelter is located and how many seconds it will take to get to the nearest. Today fifteen rockets landed in Sderot and one boy was severely injured. Over 200 rockets landed this year, over 1000 last year and over 7000 in the last seven years.

"If not me, who? said the SOS with murderer of Israelis and Americans, including children."
President Bush(2001):
Youre either on our side or the terrorists side.
If the Israeli government won’t help the people of Sderot then perhaps they should help themselves. I’m sure they could put together a great arsenal of Qassams and rocket the shit out of Gaza. Lots of people would help them. Would the government dare stop them? Arrest them? I very much doubt it.
