Israel is far more reserved than I would be. There wouldn’t be a muslim within 500 miles if I was running that show.

Why is Gaza not a smoldering heap of rubble? The Israelis are showing too much restraint.

If Israel put web cams pointed to sky or major landmarks, the world would see how they are attacked and who the attackers are.

Document and publicize ALL attacks.

We got an alarm in Efrat, 15 klix South of Jerusalem, around 9 pm. No explosions, though. Probably also a false alarm.
