UPDATE: (5:45 pm Monday): Two Qassams struck southern Israel on Sunday, and Israelis were assaulted in numerous rock-throwing attacks.
A picture from last year showing some of the Qassams fired by the terrorists in Gaza at Sderot.
An Israeli bus near Hevron has just been damaged by a fusillade of rocks thrown by Palestinian terrorists–fortunately no physical injuries to Israelis have been reported but undoubtedly many passengers are suffering from shock.
TODAY’S BLOG:
The time has come to call an intifada an intifada.
What else can you call a situation in which southern Israel is now being pounded with a minimum of two or three Qassams every day by Hamas Palestinian terrorists in Gaza? What else can you call a situation in which individual Israeli drivers and Israelis buses are assaulted in dozens of “rock throwing” attacks every day by Palestinian terrorists in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria (at this very moment, there has been a report of a major “rock throwing” attack on an Israeli bus near Hevron)?

What else can you call a situation in which the Mount of Olives Jewish cemetery in Jerusalem is no longer safe to visit because of the danger of an Arab attack (a visiting delegation of American legislators was attacked there this week)? What else can you call a situation in which Israeli neighborhoods and towns are now off-limits to police (such as the Bedouin village of Tel Sheva near Beersheva) because they are too dangerous?

What else can you call the daily call to arms by the terrorists in Hamas Gaza, the increasing incitement of the leaders of the PLO/Palestinian Authority (note Mahmoud Abbas’ call in Qatar this week for a Muslim invasion of Jerusalem), and the intensifying attempts of Israeli Arab leaders (such as Ahmed Tibi and Haneen Zoabi) to undermine and destroy Israel?
