Life on Alert in an Israeli Town -Steven ErlangerSderot, a working-class Israeli town less than two miles from Gaza, has been hit over the past four years with some 2,000 rockets of improving range and explosive power - 22 in the last eight days. Eight Sderot civilians have been killed by the rockets.
The people of Sderot live in a most un-Israeli hush, so they can hear the rocket alerts. People keep their car windows open and their radios and televisions on low volume. They take quick showers, no longer sleep in upstairs bedrooms, and avoid public places at what are considered peak rocket times.

That anyone should have to live this way in the 21st Century is a crime. Forward this to Condi Rice, W. Bush and Jimmy Carter when they feel the need to critisize Israel for their restrictive treatments of the people they live with, and along side, who are trying to kill them everyday.
