Air-raid Panic In Jerusalem

Now, here we can easily jump to false conclusions...

Jerusalem - A false alarm by air-raid sirens has rattled nerves among Israelis living in the Jerusalem area. Schoolchildren were rushed to bomb shelters and jittery Israelis flooded emergency centres with phone calls.

The siren came as rockets from Gaza were falling across southern Israel, and on the same day as Lebanon militants fired a barrage into northern Israel. Police said Wednesday's siren was caused by a malfunction.

Children at at least one Jerusalem school were taken to a basement bomb shelter. Israeli ambulance services reported more than 200 calls from concerned residents. Jerusalem has not been affected by the recent fighting.

One eighth of Israel's 7 million people are now in range of rockets from Gaza. Israel launched an offensive against Hamas in Gaza on December 27 to halt years of rocket fire.

I jump, so you dont have to!

We made those sirens yell because,
- Remember citizens of Israel, we are in war! And threat is still over here...
- This is what its coming, so its good to make some training now...
- And dont forget to vote for war, fear is our factor...

Some wartime rumors to spread... From fear factory;

There are so many things one can say to this but I will leave it to one. They learnt from the best, Uncle Sam.

The funny thing is that arnt they at war with Hamas to stop them firing rockets at Isreal, they should be hearing these every day..................

This is not a war it is a genocide, plain and simple. Gaza is just one big ghetto, they learnt how that works back in Europe.
