A Typical Month in The Middle East
This is what the BBC and the newspapers don’t report…
- A truck was caught smuggling 6.5 tons of potassium nitrate into the West Bank, disguised as EU humanitarian food aid. Potasium nitrate is used to make bombs.
- 113 rockets were fired into Israel
- 2 Israelis were killed and 17 injured
Just thought I would balance the reporting out there.

Thank you for reporting that.

When did these incidents happen?
Sue said on January 5th, 2008 at 11:22 pm:
Qassam rockets hit the town of Sderot, in southern Israel, on an almost daily basis. It’s a miracle that more people aren’t killed, but some of the injuries are horrific beyond words. Imagine living in a town where you will never know if your child will return home safe from school each day because of the rocket attacks. Imagine not being able to move to a safer area because you have no money and no job other than the one that keeps you in this town.
Terror works both ways; the Palestinians are not the only victims, but there will be no peace in the Middle East until mothers stop telling their children that it’s good to die for Palestine.

The fact you think this needs to be said is perfect testimony to how biased and selective BBC reporting is on this part of the world.
