Aid To Gaza Flows Despite Rocket Attacks On Israel

Humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza are continuing without a break, despite the stepped-up rocket attacks on southern Israeli communities emanating from the region.

On Wednesday a Kassam rocket badly damaged a factory in the Sdot Negev region. No one was physically injured in the attack.

That same day, 128 trucks filled with humanitarian aid supplies were sent through the crossings into Gaza, as they are every day except Friday and the Sabbath. The trucks carried various foodstuffs, diesel fuel for the Gaza electric power generator, cooking gas and 82 electric wheelchairs from the flotilla.

In addition to Wednesday's attack, Hamas terrorists in Gaza fired more than 10 other missiles and mortar shells at southern Israel over the past week, and several more the week before. No one was wounded.

More than 90 rockets and mortar shells have been fired at Israeli civilians from Gaza since January. Since the end of Operation Cast Lead, Israel's 2008-2009 winter war against Hamas, Gaza terrorists have fired more than 330 rockets and mortar shells at southern Israel.

And who are the complete idiots that condemn Israel for blockades and such?? Imagine what we would do if Mexico or Canada were launching rockets and mortars into the U.S. ! Ok , I take that back --- Mexico IS allowing people with automatic weapons to smuggle guns and drugs into the U.S. and has threatened (in a very open warning) to kill Border Patrol agents if they interferew with the drug smuggling...and having already killed Americans before (remember the rancher?), they have no problem with actually doing it. Obama says our borders are secure, while he post signs warning Americans that it's not safe to travel in certain areas of OUR OWN COUNTRY!! BECAUSE OF THE MEXICAN CRIMINALS!! WHAT!?? So, I wish the Israelis luck with that issue. Maybe Obama can go to Gaza via Mexico and apologize to BOTH groups for whatever bad stuff America continues to heap upon the gloriously democratic, law abiding and peaceful peoples of Mexico and Gaza.
