Unless you running around with your head in the sand (talk about mixing metaphors) then you are probably aware of the war in Gaza against Israel.

Mystical paths was IMing his friend Shlomo Wollins in Sderot when a barrage of rockets hit around him. Here is a transcript of the conversation, and here is a short video of the attack on his house.

Meanwhile, the Gazans have entered yet another truce, which like every other truce of theirs was immediately broken.

The Jerusalem Post is reporting that the Gazan hospitals are running out of blood as “most Palestinians ignored appeals from hospitals for blood donations”.

Some “nation” we are fighting, or not fighting, as after 30 missiles have landed on Jerusalem Day, the State of Israel has yet to respond. It’s still a long day, but the first presumption is that Olmert and Peretz are frozen in fear, and all their talk of fixing things based on Winnograd was and is, as we all knew, nothing more than talk to keep their seats of power.

Would there be a war if only one side showed up?

That's a dumb question, because if the mountain won't go to Mohammad, then Mohammad and his rockets will go to the mountain.
