Jewish Miracles

Mr Islam,

The Jewish people are beset with problems, and blessed by miracles. Here is another example of your Islamic brethren facing this reality.

21st May 2006 - Kassams in Sderot, Israel: School Classroom Hit while Students waiting outside

''3 Gaza-fired rockets hit the Negev city of Sderot this morning. One hit an empty classroom while the students were praying in a different room, and another caused two women to go into shock. The first rocket was fired by Palestinian terrorists from northern Gaza shortly after 7:30 AM, landing at the Gevim Junction just south of Sderot. Two women were treated at the site for shock.

Shortly afterwards, the Red Dawn early-warning alarm system sounded, giving the residents some 20-30 seconds to run for cover. Within minutes, it was learned that a rocket had in fact hit - in a classroom in the center of town. "The students were on their way to the classroom after finishing morning prayers," one person who arrived on the scene told Arutz-7, "and the classroom was still locked. Some students were waiting outside, and the teacher was on his way up - and that's when all of a sudden the rocket crashed in, hitting the teacher's chair. The teacher was very emotional, seeing that it had crashed exactly where he would have been sitting minutes later."

One person was treated for shock."By miracle," one local woman told Arutz-7, "no one was hurt - but how long can we rely on these miracles, merely because of our leaders' foolish decisions enabling the terrorists to shoot at us? Today and Tuesday are market days here in Sderot, just two blocks away from the school, and the hesder yeshiva is two blocks to the other side - it could have landed anywhere and killed people. How long can this go on?"

I will tell you how long it will go on for... until people realise there can be no peace through violence, that targetting innocent people will be rebuffed by the Lord. It is bad enough when innocents get caught in cross fire, but it is deplorable to target them.

We are approaching the festival of Shavuout when the Jews received the Torah on Mount Sinai. This is the annual festival to remind us that God is with us no matter what. As long as we do what is expected of us (to be responsible and God fearing Jews) then he will assist and protect.

Shalom and Hope for a peaceful future

Mr Jewish
