Such civilized people
Palestinian terrorists Brave, brave jihadis fighting for the Religion of Peace and Tolerance(tm) showed their moral superiority and the righteousness of their cause by firing rockets at an Israeli day-care center -- and bragging about it.
The Sderot Parents Association decided they would not take their children to schools and day care centers beginning Tuesday, until the government changed its policy regarding ongoing Kassam rocket attacks on the western Negev town, The Jerusalem Post learned Monday.
It followed a salvo of seven Kassam rockets that landed in and around the beleaguered town Monday morning. After one of the rockets thudded into the courtyard of a day care center, soldiers scrambled to evacuate everyone inside. Twelve people, including some of the babies, suffered shock and a building was damaged.

In total, seven Kassam rockets landed in and around the western Negev town as Sderot children started their second day of the new school year. The Islamic Jihad said they had fired nine Kuds-3 rockets, saying on their internet site that the attack was "a present for the start of the new school year."
Lovely people. Simply charming. They deserve lots of Western aid and their own state, don't you think?

LINKS: There's a video link at Power Line to the attack, while Gaius at Blue Crab Boulevard notes Hamas is already claiming that they are the real victims. Now that's chutzpah. Lawhawk notes how the AP softens Islamic Jihad's attempted atrocity.
UPDATE: I had to read this twice to make sure I wasn't delusional. A bunch of medieval religious fascists has just fired rockets at a day-care center for infants, so what does the Olmert government do? They complain to the UN. Un-frakking-believable. No wonder they so botched the war with Hizbullah last summer. I think this is the first Israeli government to truly lack a spine. (via LGF)
UPDATE II: Roger L. Simon reports that the ever-feckless EU has weighed in, with this statement from EU foreign policy head Javier Solana:
"I'd like to show my solidarity with the people of Sderot," he said at a news conference in Jerusalem with Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
"I know what it means, and to see today again the same experience for the people, in particular at a time when kids are in school, I think it's something that I have to condemn," he said.
I'm sure that's a great comfort to the parents of Sderot: someone's deliberately trying to blow up our babies, but -hey!- the EU feels solidarity with us! Send them back to school! And I'm sure Solana's statement has Islamic Jihad just quaking in their boots. Keep this up and, next thing you know, they'll be on the receiving end of the dreaded Sternly Worded Expression of Concern(tm).
Followed by an aid check.
