	Tell Sderot's children the truth about life in Gaza
		We should explain to the children in Sderot that not far from their homes, more than 2 million Palestinians have been suffering for 37 years under the Israeli occupation, living in a huge prison compound.
		Another thing the children of Sderot have to be told is that their state killed - albeit not deliberately, and with weapons far more sophisticated than Qassam rockets - about 540 Palestinian children.
		This is the right time to tell the children of Sderot the simple truth: Their neighbors in the Gaza Strip live under an occupation regime, which the residents have decided to fight with force, as people all over the world do in similar situations.

		Sderot was not an attractive place to live even before it became a target of Palestinian rockets.
		Sderot seemed peaceful; it seemed as if the talk about rocket attacks had been about somewhere else, a long time ago.

		Sderot gets hit so frequently and relentlessly with Kassam missles and mortars that people often forget that it is not actually part of the Gaza Strip.
		Sderot is as much a part of territorial Israel as Tel Aviv or Haifa.
		Sderot, though it is within territorial Israel, is only 800 meters from Bet Hanun, an Arab city in the Gaza Strip that, hundreds of rockets later, still can't seem to satisfy its itchy trigger fingers.

	MIFTAH--Seven Shocked in Sderot, and other Stories from Gaza
		The Qassams are laughably inaccurate, low-range, makeshift rockets that are so primitive that they are referred to by Israeli soldiers as “flying irons.” They rarely cause any damage to the Israeli towns at which they are aimed; in fact, they rarely even reach their targets.
		In keeping with this paltry track record, the only damage caused by the Qassams launched this week at Sderot was the aforementioned shocking of the seven residents.
		To further punish the Palestinians for having so cruelly shocked the seven residents of Sderot, the Israeli army sealed off the entire town from the rest of Gaza, destroyed large areas of agricultural land, razed to the ground 22 homes, and demolished the entire civilian infrastructure of the town.
