Code red is a way of life in Israeli town

Even before the current war began, terror was a part of daily life for Israelis living on one side of the Gaza Strip. Mortar shells and rockets fired by Palestinian militants often rain down on Sderot, an Israeli city of roughly 20,000 people.

The people of Sderot faced thousands of rocket attacks last year alone, and yet many continue to live there, whether for financial or ideological reasons. For some Israelis, Sderot is a symbol of determination — while for others, the town represents the governments inability to end what has become an ongoing nightmare.

Worldfocus correspondent Michael Greenspan and producer Yuval Lion capture what life is like in the city of Sderot.

Bloggers from Sderot and elsewhere write about their experiences living in fear as the Israeli-Hamas conflict continues: http://worldfocus.org/blog/2009/01/05/code-red-is-a-way-of-life-in-israeli-to...

Maybe your auntie Cheryl should think about getting the fuck out of Palestine, then. She is living on stolen, foreign land - what does she expect?

If she gets killed, it will be due to the fact that Gaza does not have access to modern weapons which can be targeted because her government have sealed the borders and allows no access to .. well, virtually anything, really.
