[12/31/08] Palestinian Terror Rocket Explodes in Ashdod Playground
Ashdod News ^ | 12/31/2008 | Ashdod News

The article is in Hebrew, so anyone who can read it is welcome to check out the link, but the following photos are from the article:

While the exact location has not been disclosed in order to avoid providing artillery spotting intelligence to the terrorists, the release of this photo of the vicinity was permitted, and you can see the playground and weightlifting equipment in the background.

This shows the shrapnel's effects on a steel fence, which helped deflect the blast from an adjacent bus stop and playing fields. Memorials to earlier victims of terrorists were placed on the bench.

The terror rocket exploded at around 10:00am local time on Wednesday, December 31.

The Israelis should issue multiple false stories about rockets falling in densely packed schoolyards and completely fabricate 28 kids killed. It would do 2 things: It would encourage the Palis to fire more rockets, which they will ultimately do anyway, thus revealing more launcher postions for takeout. Then, when the scuzzies come out to celebrate their great acomplishment, dust ‘em.

I’m forced to watch CNN at the gym and some boob was on this morning saying that Hamas has to keep this up because Israel is the aggressor. You can’t help but laugh at how biased the MSM is. I sometimes LOL when other people are near me watching the same thing and they must think I’m being disrespectful given the situation, but really it’s the blatant bias I’m laughing at.

The UN will issue a statement of condemnation, I’m sure of it.

R.V. Jones in “The Wizard War”, told of how the British would selectively leak more information about V2 strikes to the north of London in order to draw fire towards the less populated South (much to the consternation, post war, of south Londoners). Could this be Israeli disinformation? If the Palis thought they had hit a playground anywhere in Israel, one suspects that they would “fire for effect” remorselessly.

Why would anyone think anything else, when the thousands of rockets and artillery shells peppering Israeli civilians on a nearly daily basis since Israel pulled out of the Gaza strip was apparently under a worldwide total media blackout?

I doubt this is disinformation, the Hamass terrorists are more than eager to murder innocent children, they wire up their own kids as human bombs don’t they?

Where’s the peanut farmer this New Year’s Eve? I haven’t heard his disgraceful thoughts about all of this yet.

I, for one, will be glad when Jimma finally goes home to Jesus ... he might not exactly get the seat he’s expecting. Of course, I only wish Jimma to depart this earth of natural causes.

What's really striking about this is that there were no injuries or fatalities.

<< Psalm 121 >>
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Another PALLYWOOD PRODUCTION.

Green Helmet man must be behind the camera this time.

It is so obvious it was staged.

Notice also the guy on the far right. He doesn’t seem to be ‘reacting’ like the others. Looks like he’s got a beer or a coke in his hand.

Yep, the guys in the back on the ground are standing there watching in a casual stance, too.
