nypost.com — Mayor Michael Bloomberg arrived in Israel to show solidarity with Israelis threatened by Hamas. During the visit to the embattled town of Sderot, Bloomberg and his party got a first hand feel of this threat as a missile siren went off and they were rushed to a bomb shelter.

Fifteen seconds. If you live in Sderot, you have only fifteen seconds warning when Hamas launches a rocket attack.

The WW1 rockets ruined the paint work on my fence, lets kill 90 Palestinian children to protect the occupied land we sit on

If Bloomberg considers himself an Israeli and not an American then let him stay the f**k over there.

@ shabrainiacare you suggesting they're better at this than they were in 2006?"The woman on the other end, speaking in Hebrew-accented Arabic, accused the appliance store owner of being a member of Hamas and informed him the IDF would bomb his house. Hours later, after he had already moved 20 relatives out of the four-story building, she called back to tell him she had made a mistake."Be safe," she said and hung up, according to Mahmoud...""Government officials said some of the calls reached hospitals and government offices.The Palestinian phone company said the numbers were apparently picked at random. The army said the calls are to specific homes or areas, but refused to say how it picked the numbers.

Rockets/mortars have been landing in Sderot almost daily for years...

@140Suffolk:"there have been 12,000+ deadly Islamic attacks worldwide"Break that down for me - How many of those attacks took place in lands where Muslims had been taken over/attacked (ie Iraq). In how many of those lands are Muslims oppressed? Lastly, but most important, what was the body count from those 12,000 attacks, versus one day of Muslim Casualty's in Iraq?
