You know, I don't get it. Since when are you not allowed to ask a Chinese man where a Chinese restaurant is? I mean, aren't we getting a little too sensitive here? If someone asks me, "which direction is Israel," I don't go flying off the handle.

What would YOU do...

...if rockets hit your neighborhood gas station like this?



The southern Israeli town of Sderot has been getting blasted by Hamas Quassam terrorist rockets for years now. This is nothing new, of course. Sderot has been under attack despite the fact that Israel left Gaza a few summers ago. Gaza is the area which, we were all told, would be stabilized once the occupation ended. After all, the "occupation" - that delightfully ambiguous term - is the root of all the problems in the Middle East, right? End the occupation, end the problems, right?

Well the occupation of Gaza is over and yet, Hamas is still lobbing rockets into Israel's towns where children go to school and parents work to support their families. Doesn't take a genius to understand what they're really after...
