Rockets from Judenrein Gaza strike IDF Base, wound 5

Since morbidly obese PM Yassir Sharon ethnically cleansed Gaza of all the Jews things have gotten much nicer for the terrorists. They are launching new shiny rockets imported from Egypt through the now unprotected Rafah border, have much improved positions from which to fire their weapons using the land on which Jewish communities and military bases once thrived until Sharon demolished and abandoned them to appease the moslems.

Yep, the terrorists who want Israel destroyed have to be feeling much better about themselves these days.

In fact, now they have managed to consistently rocket the city of Ashkelon, well north of the Gaza border, with more accuracy and consistency than ever before. Isn't that special? Best of all, Sharon is only making minimal responses to the attacks so the jihad party can just keep right on going without fear of the consequences.

I think it's quite reasonable to conclude that rockets will be making landfall in Jaffa or even Tel Aviv in the next few months, and when Sharon and his concessionist buddies pull out of Judea and Samaria the good time era for moslem terrorists will really kick into high gear. They may not even have to blow themselves up anymore... just fire away from the sweet new land gifts that the capitulators hand out free of charge with big Chamberlain smiles.

Two rockets landed on the Zikim army base just south of Ashkelon late Thursday morning. They struck near the base’s mess hall, which was filled with officers at the time.

Five soldiers were wounded by shrapnel or treated for shock in the Zikkim attack, including battalion commander Lt.-Col. Yossi Drori.

Another rocket fell near the Ashkelon industrial zone, where one of Israel’s largest power plants is located. Earlier this week a rocket hit the power plant but failed to cause any damage. Rockets also struck a different IDF base in the region earlier this week.

On August 15th, on the eve of the implementation of the Gaza withdrawal, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon appeared on television and told the nation: “We will hold out our hand with an olive branch, but we will respond to attacks [after the Disengagement] in an unprecedented manner.”

Military sources were quoted following Thursday’s attack saying, “There is no magic solution to eliminate Kassam fire.”“We are not looking for magic, but merely security!” responded former IDF Southern District Commander Brig.-Gen. (res.) Tzvi Fogel on Israel Radio.

“We must declare that whoever approaches these known launching sites will be shot. They will say that it prevents Gaza residents from going to work in the fields, but if given a choice between enabling the residents of Gaza or the residents of Ashkelon to go to work – the State of Israel must choose Ashkelon… Why can’t the IDF display the kind of determination it used in the Disengagement in its efforts to stop the rockets?”

I'll tell you why, General: Because the IDF is getting their marching orders from a concessionist who doesn't want to hurt the moslems feelings. Perhaps another good will gesture is in order?
