This word does not appear in the Hebrew dictionary, but an old-new weapon from the sophisticated arsenal directed against the Palestinian people has again suddenly emerged. While not deadly, it is fiendish: the sonic boom.
The world's best air force is amusing itself by creating fear in a helpless and terrified civilian population. Twenty-nine such booms were sounded during a period of four days in September, and this practice was repeated again recently, according to Physicians for Human Rights-Israel and the Gaza Community Mental Health Program, which jointly submitted a High Court petition on this matter. If there is such a thing as an unequivocal case of collective punishment, then this is it.
Parents in Gaza speak about the fears their children have suffered in recent weeks, the nightmares and bed-wetting. Husbands tell about pregnant women who have experienced panic attacks. The windowpanes in homes shatter one after another. Here is a scoop: Palestinians can also be "trauma victims."
These booms, whose only purpose is to sow fear among innocent civilians, have been added to the artillery shells pounding the Gaza Strip and the daily barrage of liquidation missiles, which indiscriminately kill armed militants and innocent people. The fact that the air force is employing this weapon mainly late at night, or early in the morning, when masses of pupils are making their way to school, only makes its wickedness more conspicuous. Israel may have disengaged from Gaza, but its air force has not.

HA HA HA HA!!!! Sniff-O-Rama!
Gaza is now a free fire zone.
Haaretz would hire Cindy Sheehan if they could.
Sonic Boom, Car Boom, Rocket Boom
I would think the Palies were used to the sound.
Pass me a tissue, I feel a crocodile tear coming...
Damn those Jews. If Arabs want to kill them why do they keep stopping them? Is Haaretz really written by Jews and if so are their names Portnoy?
Article should be titled:
"Fly Slower, We Can't Shoot You When You Fly That Fast."
So intimidation via sonic booms works. Sad.
One theory of why Paris is now burning is that they were perceived as weak, because they didn't support the US in Iraq. The french no longer intimidate the uncivilized children, and they're paying the price.
The Israelis understand how to mostly keep the uncivilized at bay. They can't civilize them, but they can keep them at bay.
Arab people-not "Palestinian" people

Jees. Does this mean that when several sonic booms occur, people jizzle up and down like they're on chess boards and topple over?
Honey, grab me a beer. I wanna watch this on TV.
Keep on Booming!
I find it amusing as well.... keep up the good work!

I'm OK with this, except for the description of "helpless". I certainly hope they're terrified.
Thanks for the loan of your micro-Stradivarius, which I'll return ASAP.
It worked in Vietnam too.
"Booming" is a great psy-ops weapon. It really shakes up the locals. SR-71s “boomed” Nicaragua more than a few times back in the 80s, and it sapped hurt their will to fight.
Venezuela could use a few of these :).
Let's not leave out projectile vomiting
