Government ultimatums to the Hamas are like words written on a block of ice in the Sahara desert. Israeli-Arab rioters continue to cause chaos. The UN and Europe express concern and call for restraint. It’s as if they have a computer publishing these statements. Israeli cabinet ministers continue bickering in a way that shames them.

Israel keeps providing Gaza with power, fuel and cement, while rockets are being launched from Gaza at the south. This morning it was revealed that dozens of assaults by Arabs on Israelis aren’t reported by the media.
