Rocket rain

In the article "Israel eyes U.N. force for Gaza border" (Page 1, Monday), The Washington Times reports that "Hamas militants have for months fired crude rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot, usually with little effect." More than 100 rockets fired by Palestinian terrorists from the nearby Gaza Strip have hit Israel in the past week. That is in addition to the 147 that reached Israeli territory between the start of a "cease-fire" in November and May 16. If hundreds of terrorist rockets had been striking a Washington suburb of comparable size — say, Fairfax City — frequently paralyzing daily life, occasionally killing residents, and causing up to one-third of the population to leave, The Times no doubt would useother descriptions than "usually with little effect." Intolerable, for one.
