They really are begging for a shellacking aren't they?

Their hatred blinds them.

“Katyusha Hits Ashkelon, One Killed, 16 Wounded”
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(IsraelNN.com) A Grad Katyusha rocket killed one person in the center of Ashkelon and wounded 16 others as Hamas continues to attack Israel. Three people were seriously wounded, and 13 others suffered light wounds and shock. All of the victims apparently were Bedouin and Galilee Arab construction workers.

Ashkelon Mayor Benny Vaknin, who reported the attack in the middle of an on-the-air interview with Voice of Israel government radio, said that the rocket hit a building under construction. Witnesses reported the explosion was extremely powerful and broke through a concrete floor eight-inches thick.”

“Israeli Hospital Cares for Sick and Injured Gaza Arabs”
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

Published: 12/29/08, 12:12 PM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) Dozens of Gaza Arabs are being treated in Ashkelon’s Barzilai Hospital at the same time terrorists are bombarding the city. The medical facility, the largest on the southern coast, is in the line of rocket fire, and medical staff often have to stop caring for patients and run for cover during air rain warnings.

The 500-bed Barzilai Hospital has close ties with Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, Barzilai deputy director Dr. Ron Lobel told the Associated Press. “It might seem completely absurd, but we have the privilege to be doctors. Our medical ethics do not distinguish between patients. We treat whoever needs to be treated,” he said.”

by Hana Levi Julian

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) Hizbullah terrorists have vowed to open a second front against Israel in the north in retaliation for the IDF military operation against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

Terrorist chief Hassan Nasrallah issued a statement on Hizbullah’s Al-Manar television station Sunday, vowing that “northern Israel will burn as Gaza is burning.” Nasrallah rarely appears in person; he speaks via a video hook-up from his hideout due to fears of assassination by Israeli agents, following the 2006 Second Lebanon War.”
