Joel Rosenberg, former senior aide to presid. candidate Steve Forbes, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Natan Sharansky has brought us another chilling and frightful novel that examines a future that is all to possible considering the context of the Middle East.
“Dead Heat is a novel – it’s fiction, it’s made up – but the themes are quite plausible,” says Rosenberg, who once served as a senior aide to U.S. presidential candidate Steve Forbes, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Deputy Prime Minister Natan Sharansky.
He notes that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is urging the Muslim world to envision a world “without America.” Is this possible? “It is,” Ahmadinejad insists, “when our holy hatred strikes like a wave.”

Sderot's War Children
This was on today's daily alert email. It breaks your heart to read. As the bible commands, let us pray for the peace (shalom) of Jerusalem, and all Israel.
Sderot's War Children - Anat Meidan (Ynet News)
The most gut-wrenching moment of Monday's rocket attack on Sderot was 8-year-old Maria caressing the forehead of her older brother, Yossi, 10, while he was lying wounded on the floor of the supermarket. There was no screaming, no panic, and no crying.
Yossi, despite the rocket shrapnel that was lodged in his shoulder, the blood around him, and the incredible pain, maintained incomprehensible restraint. He merely muttered that his shoulder hurts, and his little sister, just like a kind nurse, kept on caressing him.
He was a child hero who a minute earlier was still having fun, just like other children anywhere else in the world. He went to play soccer, after leaving his school bag at home.
How many times did they imagine the possibility that they will be wounded, and what it would be like, and what they would do? Did Yossi wonder whether he would lose his leg, just like 8-year-old Osher Twito, who was wounded only two and a half weeks ago and will no longer be able to play soccer?
A 10-year-old boy should not be a wounded hero, and it is completely unnecessary for an 8-year-old girl to see her brother bleeding. On Monday, a Kassam rocket wrested away the innocence and put an end to the childhood of Yossi and Maria, Sderot's war children.

A day in the life of Isrel... what it's really like.
These daily insights were just to good to pass up, and we don't hear much about this (or the fate of the Gazan/Palestinian Christians) in the media. Who in their right mind would want to live under the conditions the Israelis have to put up with daily?
Israeli Minister: Jerusalem Arabs Oppose Division of Capital - Nadav Shragai
Minister of Pensioners' Affairs Rafi Eitan on Thursday said that Jerusalem must not be divided as part of the peace process with the Palestinians, saying, "we took a poll and found the [Arab] residents themselves don't want to leave. They like it with us." Eitan said that he did not believe that the Palestinian government was able to fight terror, "and therefore we must keep the capital whole, and fight to have it all under Israeli control." (Ha'aretz)
10,000 Israeli Shoppers Head to Sderot
More than 10,000 people from northern and central Israel traveled to Sderot on Friday to carry out their weekend shopping and show their solidarity for the residents of the beleaguered town. Numerous groups participated in the solidarity mission including student organizations, secular and religious communities, and sports clubs. Several municipalities even provided buses. (Jerusalem Post)
Red Alert in Sderot: Living in the Most Heavily Bombarded Place in the World - Philip Jacobson
My guide in Sderot takes me through the local ground rules: 1. I am not to fasten my seat belt. Buckling up prevents drivers and their passengers getting out of a vehicle quickly. 2. I am not to play my car radio. It may drown out the warnings. 3. I am not to have a shower if there is nobody else in the house to hear the alarms. 4. Be extra vigilant when it's foggy. It can confuse the laser-activated warning systems.
And suddenly it comes, a noise like the slamming of a heavy door as a six-foot-long Kassam rocket bursts into the cloudless blue sky, its trajectory marked by a trail of white smoke as it curves towards the town. Almost simultaneously, sirens begin to wail. A woman's urgent voice repeats the words "Red Alert" over public address loudspeakers. For the next 72 hours "Red Alerts" will sound almost continuously as Islamic militant groups in Gaza rained more than 100 rockets on the town during a terrifying three-day attack. (Daily Mail-UK)

Terrorists inflict more death, they don't stop!
It seems like the terrorist groups in Israel just won't let it rest. Muslim raducals complain that Israel is oppressing the Palestinians, when if you examine the news, it is the militant muslim palestinians that are sending out terror raids and constant attacks upon Israel. Here is a sad example of that from last night in Israel.
Ido Zoldan, 29 and a father of two, was murdered in a terrorist shooting attack in Samaria around 11:00 pm Monday night.
Palestinian Authority terrorists fired on the man as he drove past the village of Funduk, near Kedumim. Paramedics who arrived at the scene were unable to save his life.
Zoldan, of Shavei Shomron, will be buried on Tuesday at 1:00 PM in Kedumim. He is survived by his wife Tehila and his two small children, three-year-old Aharon and one-year-old Rachel. The family moved to Shavei Shomron after they were displaced from Homesh in the Disengagement of 2005.
A terrorist cell was waiting in ambush in the area for Israeli vehicles.
According to initial information, a terrorist cell was waiting in ambush in the area for Israeli vehicles. When Ido, who was riding alone, came into range, the enemy attackers sprayed the vehicle with gunfire. The driver was critically injured, with multiple gunshot wounds, and he apparently died within minutes.
