Gaza rocket injures first Israelis since truce
Agencies
Jerusalem: A rocket fired from Gaza injured two Israelis on Tuesday in the first attack since the ceasefire began one month go.
Two 14-year-olds were injured when the rocket slammed into a street near a house in the town of Sderot. One is in a critical condition and the other seriously hurt, said Leah Malul, a spokeswoman for Barzilai Hospital.
David Baker, an official in Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office, said, "It is clear that Israel's policy of restraint is not open-ended and these rocket attacks must stop."
Olmert has come under growing public criticism for failing to retaliate for more than 60 rockets fired since a November 26 truce, but is also under US and European pressure to keep the ceasefire.
Olmert has made plans to summon top decision makers on Wednesday to weigh a possible Israeli response, an Israeli source said.

I wonder if Israels response will be to arrest those responsible?
Or perhaps instead they'll decide to massacre one hundred or so men, women and children and demolish their homes in the name of defending their illegally occupied land?
Answers on a postcard please...
Hopefully they will arrest those responsible.
Not a surprise your sole purpose of your post was to flame Israel and not even mention the rockets fired by the palestinians.
Israel's historical response to a couple of rockets, or the kidnapping of a soldier...much worse.
On the bright side, for people who do not acknowledge the existence of Israel, the Palestinians sure know where to aim their rockets. Isn't it impossible to deny Israel while at the same time shooting rockets at them?
odd...

I know Israel is wrong in stealing lands, but that doesn't excuse terrorism. Israel carries out most of the terrorism in the region...no question. But that doesn't make it ok for the Palestinians to fire rockets at civilians. My feeling is that Israel will respond with massive terrorism as they usually do. But that doesn't change what Hamas is allowing and most likely encouraging. Hamas is just bad for the Palenstinians, and they'll realize that sooner or later I think.
That's true. Although your last part about Hamas being bad for the Palestinians...I just can't help but wonder what alternative there could be. A person under the boot of another will only ever respond by struggling - by violence. There's no other way out for him. It's a natural reaction.
If Israel withdraws beyond the internationally recocgnized borders and these Palestinians continue firing rockets into Israel, then I can guarentee you that I'll be the first one on here condemning them.
I know violence is a natural reaction to oppression, but that still doesn't make it ok in my eyes. I just don't think that terrorism is EVER justified. If a guy rapes and kills my sister, would it be ok for me to get back at him by raping and killing his sister? It would certainly be a natural reaction for me to want to bring him the same pain he brought me, but what I did would still be wrong.
I think we should condemn all terrorism. When Israel bulldozes houses down and fires rockets from helicopters into crowds of unarmed Palestinian demontrators, that's terrorism. When Palestinians fire rockets into Israeli towns, that's terrorism. The majority of terrorism is carried out by Israel, and that is where most of the condemnation should be focused, but ALL terrorism is wrong and should be condemned.
ok folks here you have proof. you are justifying terrorism. wake up man
Without terrorism, we'd be free to opress all without fear of accountability.
I'm not justifying it. I'm understanding the reasons behind it.
Exactly. You weren't wrong by any means in what you said. The real crime is to pretend terrorism happens for no reason. If there's no effort to understand the cause and an attempt to prevent these events from taking place on BOTH sides then there will always be more terrorsm as an effect.
