Gaza lull shaky as Palestinians fire rocket at settlers' school bus
Haaretz ^ | 5/6/05 | Nir Hasson

Palestinians on Friday morning fired an anti-tank rocket on Friday morning at school bus carrying children outside the southern Gaza Strip settlement of Kfar Darom, shaking the fragile lull in violence. The rocket failed to hit the bus.

A mortar shell also hit a Gush Katif settlement. No damage or casualties were reported in either case.

Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired four Qassam rockets at the southern Israeli town of Sderot predawn Friday. The Magen David Adom ambulance service said that several people had been treated for shock.

Three of the rockets landed in an open field. One hit a building in the center of the Negev town, which was empty at the time due to renovation works.

Just the ever-so-courageous "sons of the Prophet" understandably protecting themselves from their fearsome arch-enemies: school children.

Filthy sand maggots.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the Palestinian people.

We have been hearing about the devestating response for years that never comes and never will under current conditions. There would maybe be some bombing of empty buildings, maybe a targeted assassination then back to the major concessions for nothing in return.

Maybe it's time to roll out a few of captured Grad multiple rocket launchers (Israel got quite a few) and just empty them in Gaza general direction, preferably more or less close towards the area of terrorist activities.

I still think Israel should send them a devistating response. It's not that none of the children were killed... it's the fact that the Paleosteinians tried to kill them.

Careful Dad.

I was once banned for 40 hours for using the SM© phrase.
It was deemed "racist" by a PC admin. See ya when you get back.

LOL!

Wake up man! A Palestinian assassination of the entire Knesset would be grounds for the Israeli left to apologize to the assassins.

Israel is too far gone. They are surrendering; slowly but steadily they are surrendering.

Gaza lull shaky as Palestinians IDF fire rocket at settlers' Pelestinians' school bus.

Let's see what the mass-murdering-animals-that-walk-on-two-legs supporters think of that slightly modified headline.

Yes, they are stupid. A big chunk of them voted for Hamas thugs cause Hamas said they would give them better municipal services and be more moderate than Iran and the Taliban. They should just pack up they're bags and go to one of the many other Islamic stinkholes. Because violence with Israel will not bring them freeedom.

Thank you for the warning, Publius.

I assume that such "corrective action" is normally taken if someone objects to the posting content and then brings it to the mods' attention.

If that should also prove to be the case here, then I'll happily clarify: the epithet was meant to describe those aficionados of a moon deity-worshipping murder cult with a penchant for slaughtering patently innocent people whose immediate and complete eradication would be nothing less than a Godsend.

If this appears to carry the impression of contemptuous insult and great disdain, then I am indeed satisfied, since my immediate mission was accomplished successfully.

You are probably correct; that hadn't occured to me, that it requires a "victim" to trigger actions by the mods. Makes sense.
You are kind to feel the need to clarify.
I did not; I simply accepted the consequences, misguided as it was.

Of course, being prohibited from expressing deeply held convictions does not in any way make them "go away"!

The only way there will ever be peace is when "palestine" is a pile of rubble. Go in, kick-ass and be done with them. The only thing the islamonazis respect is force. Israel should do whatever it takes to stop these monsters. Anyone who is truly innocent will just have to get out of the way.
