The Rocket is a message


Almost on a daily basis, radical Islamists such as Hamas fire mortar shells and rockets into Israel.

The Rocket is a message"

Israelis!

You are on stolen land!
You took our houses, villages, cities, fields and orchards.
You pushed us into the desert.
You surrounded us with barbed wire.
You starve us and you kill us simply to suit your political ambitions.

So this rocket is a message to you all. Think about us and then look at yourself in the mirror. Enough is enough!’

For more than six decades the Israelis have dismissed this message. They surrounded themselves with ghetto walls and have sealed their skies with an Iron Dome. However, with Tel Aviv now under attack, Israel and Israelis have been confronted with their original sin.
