An explosive morning in Sderot
Eighteen Kassam rockets have hit the western Negev this morning, mostly in and around Sderot. Three people were lightly wounded - one 0f them with shrapnel - and several have been treated for shock.This morning's attacks come while three other things are going on:
1. The IDF is continuing to 'operate' in southern Gaza, where eight 'Palestinian' terrorists were killed yesterday. As a result, Fatah is having second thoughts about attending today's 'final status' talks (good!) and is considering a boycott.
2. The 'security cabinet' is meeting today to discuss, the Gaza operation, which has now cut the Strip in half, with tanks blocking the main road leading from Khan Yunis to Rafiah, with an expansion of the operation being considered.
3. The Supreme Court will hold a hearing today in which the government will have to defend its refusal to fortify every home in Sderot against rocket attacks. The government was already in court on Monday where it argued that
the issue of fortifications "is not limited to this singular context and is closely linked to various other matters, that will have ramifications on Israel's security, image and deterrent capabilities.Another hearing will be held today. Some 800 families are asking the government to fortify their houses or compensate those who have already paid for fortifications on their own.
"It effects the ability of residents in the conflict area to remain steadfast in the face of the attacks as well as various budgetary repercussions."
There was a story on the radio yesterday morning - which I have not seen in print - that claims that the reason the IDF is not operating in Gaza is because the government is afraid the 'Palestinians' will kill Gilad Shalit. While I would love to see Gilad Shalit home safe and sound with his family, it seems absurd to place 250,000 people at risk (the same report said that the 'Palestinians' now have rockets that can reach as far as Kiryat Gat, 35 kilometers from the Strip) for one person.

where did you get that good map?
My name is Robert Amiram Grant. I am an Oleh Chadash from London. I made aliyah in August 2006 with my wife and children.
I am a therapist and master trainer, expert in trauma relief. I specialise in a world famous trauma relief therapy, which is called Thought Field Therapy (TFT) and I am licensed to train therapists in my field. TFT was made the national therapy of choice by the Medical Chief of Staff of Kosovo, during the Kosovo war. I was personally trained by the creator of TFT.
I am also qualified in a number of other therapies such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and TAT amongst others. I am trained to give seminars to groups of people who have suffered trauma giving them the basic tools to deal with the immediate symptoms of their trauma and to cope with life afterwards. The results are immediately measurably beneficial. I am a great supporter of Israel, and made aliyah despite Israel being in the midst of the Lebanon war.
When I read stories of 17 year old children in Sderot unable to sleep unless they sleep in their parents’ bedroom, one of my goals in coming to Israel was to share the trauma relief skills I have been blessed with, with those suffering from terror and war. I would also like to train community leaders, teachers and parents to use the basics of these skills.
If anyone can help me to organise a free seminar and to offer my services to those who need them please contact me on:
