If an average of 2.5 rockets fell in your community every day for 6 years, you would kind of expect the international community to sit up and take notice. Perhaps even boycott the perpetrators or put economic sanctions on the country. If 5000+ had fallen in the past 4 years, i.e. the bulk of them, you would think that people would have vacated that part of the country altogether. You, and I would be wrong.
The residents of Sderot have endured this onslaught and continue to endure. Policies concerning Gaza come and go. Families are uprooted in the name of and in the hope of peace, and still the rockets fall. As Israeli rally participants said on their tee-shirts, “Sderot zeh kulhanu”…….We are all Sderot.
