"Not that you haven't noticed, Gentle Reader, but the world is coming apart. Again. Beginning with the Middle East, where, to put it as diplomatically as possible, all hell is about to break loose on Israel's border with Hamasland, aka Gaza. You can see war coming by the rockets' red glare, hear the bombs bursting in air as the first deaths are tallied. How many more before the hurly-burly's done, the battle's lost or won?
Hundreds of explosive-laden rockets have been fired at random this year into Israel's Negev, its arid South. This week, as was bound to happen, one of them struck an apartment building in a little Israeli border town with fatal results.
Meanwhile, the Israelis have been responding with targeted raids against Gaza's terrorist leaders, doubtless hoping to disrupt Hamas' command rather than having to launch still another full-scale invasion of Gaza, which would be Gaza War No. 3 by my uncertain count. Like the first two, it would come complete with casualties military and civilian on both sides, and all the unpredictable dangers of a war spiraling out of anybody's control. As if any war were ever uncontrollable."
So the $64 question is whether this skirmish will be just that or if it's a small part of a larger coordinated attack on Israel. So far the Administration 2.0 seems to be taking a hands off approach and I have not read anything in the news about NATO wanting to step in either.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

That is what happens when you are told to leave by other Arab States before they destroy Israel and the Israelis don't let you back in after the Arabs lose. There are many Arabs who have lived peacefully in Israel for decades.
