Mortar shells fired from Gaza, Israeli military says

To continue the NBC News heading: "One of the projectiles landed near a kindergarten shortly before it opened, local media reported."

Someone in the Metrowest News critiqued my position of negative results appending to the US embassy move and declaration of all of Jerusalem the capital of the Jewish state.  My critic said among other hostile epithets and I quote:  

 

"The Palestinian Arabs just love to use the Menendez defense, originated by Lyle and Erik Menendez, who murdered their parents and then begged for sympathy on the grounds of being orphans.

The Menendez brothers didn’t fool their judges, but the Palestinian Arabs have obviously fooled Natalie Rosen."  I responded:

I am NOT fooled, Mr. S**.  How one goes from the Menendez Brothers to a position concerning Jerusalem I have no idea. I know the issues. The dispute and war go on for decades. The goal no matter which argument one listens to is to stop the killing and, of course, without a doubt I know Hamas's proclivity for violence and the intractability of their position. That is not the question. I find your accusation, sir, insulting to me because there is no event in my memory or in history's memory that has affected me more than The Holocaust or Shoah, the event that birthed the state of Israel. I am well aware of each war and each conflict in that geographical war torn part of the world. I want the killing to stop. The issues are complex and one side does not have a corner on truth. Truth is always in the eyes of the beholder. I want to achieve a two state solution and an eradication of the killing. What is the best way can one do that after 70 years of constant war? It is not a formal capital declaration of Jerusalem by a US President who does not know his posterior from his elbow. 

To me the best way to create a cessation of death is not -- I repeat not -- on international television and computer screens to declare Jerusalem -- all Jerusalem -- the capital of Israel and moving it from a neutral Tel Aviv to an incendiary Jerusalem. Declaring Jerusalem the capital in the form of a joyous gathering of people who want that to be so creates and will create more violence. If you do not care about human deaths as a result of that I ask where is your empathy gene, Mr. S****. If both sides hold hard and fast to their positions one can be sure more violence and killing of innocent women and children, too, will continue. Excuse me if I ask where is your sense of humanity for all involved?
Moreover, I said to one who supported what I said:  Thank you, Lloyd, for your support! It is welcomed lest some think this Jew does not care about Israel when my politics many years ago was formed by the morality of Nuremberg and the unconscionable acts perpetrated against the Jewish people of the Holocaust. 

The headlines from NBC News this morning speak volumes for the veracity of our opinions: "Mortar shells fired from Gaza, Israeli military says. One of the projectiles landed near a kindergarten shortly before it opened, local media reported." It matters not what was declared the capital in 1949. Much history has been written after that fact. The US embassy until Trump was located in Tel Aviv so more tension and violence would not erupt. Ordering the US embassy changed to Jerusalem because Trump thinks that is politically expedient for him -- always him -- spells death, violence and more death. Why commit an act that will serve only to inflame. This was not a Trump building in NYC he was constructing this was a self-serving inflammatory political statement which serves only to get people killed. I must conclude Mr. S** does not care if the shelling from Gaza drops over and kills more. As JFK said we all occupy the same planet and we are all human. I rest my case!
