Once again
to be an Israeli must mean you are feeling very, very alone
At least
today the Jewish state is protected by its Iron Dome
Rockets from
Gaza are heading to Israel like the monsoon rain
As any
chance for a ceasefire seems to quickly wane
Hamas seems
bent on trying to once again destroy the Jewish state
Must be
frustrated when most rockets share an intercepted and destroyed fate
While our
only democratic ally has half its population running to shelters as the sirens
sound
The clock is
ticking quickly before Israel sends into Gaza its forces on the ground
The U.S. response
is like a Texas two step, two steps forward one step back
Once again
it would appear a strategy we completely lack
We can only
under this Administration react
Israel has a
right to defend itself from attack
But then Phillip
Gordon faults Israel for striking back
One mourns
the loss of homes and civilians in the Gaza Strip
But an
expected result when Hamas is following its terror script
It is only
through the grace of God and the technology of the Iron Dome
That
hundreds of Hamas rockets have not been detonating in Israeli homes
