Rocket lands near hotel in Ashkelon
Rocket fired by Palestinians in northern Gaza Strip lands near hotel on Ashkelon’s beach; no injuries or damage reported in attack. Police bomb squad says rocket might have been a Katyusha, as area is out of Qassam range
The justification of Palestinian terror against Israel has been the “occupation.” Of course by no measure is Ashkelon “occupied territory.” So what justifies this attack.
Coming so close on the heels of Egypt allowing members of Hamas to cross into Gaza unsearched, one has to ask if this is a Katyusha, did Egypt have a hand in getting in updating Hamas’s arsenal. And for that matter did Saudi Arabia? Remember Saudi Arabia arranged for the Hamas sponsored hajj.
Put simply have America’s “moderate” Arab allies taken an active role in aiding Hamas against Israel?

Arabs stating that they are fighting to regain occupied land sounds reasonable to the naive Western media. The problem is that none of the media is intelligent enough to be able to read what is actually written, or stated privately in Arabic, that Muslims view all of Israel as occupied land.
Why is it so obvious to us, and so difficult for others to see?
Any location occupied by a non-Muslim is “occupied land,” including most of the United States (the natives were Muslim, you know).
