I've Been Thinking:

Qassam rockets have become routine for the Israeli residents of Sderot.
A routine nightmare.

Israel is trying to counter the barrage using helicopter gunships to strike at the people launching these portable rockets.
Israel is also countering the barrage by hitting Hamas leaders.

The Israeli response is justified.
The Pope came out with a statement saying that Israel must protect its citizens.
The US came out with a public statement justifying the Israeli counter attack. Sean McCormack, US State Department spokesman, said: "Israel is faced with the difficult challenge countering these continued rocket attacks from Gaza into Israeli territory." He continued, "they have a right to defend themselves."

The Arab world has condemned the Israeli response.
Many in the Arab world are demanding international investigation and even prosecution.
Saudi Arabia has demanded that the international community investigate these attacks and then force Israel to accept the Arab peace plan.
Well, what do you know?!
