Greetings:

My sister-in-law and her family live in Ein Hod, just south of Haifa, and quite a few missiles have flown overhead. But perhaps they were fired from Hezbollah in southern Lebanon southward rather than from Gaza. One missile, for example, hit a crowded restaurant along the coast a few kilometers downhill from them and killed quite a few people. That was about two years ago. My point, however, is the same. No one in the region, Jew or Arab, Israeli or Palestinian, is safe until there is some kind of meaningful reconciliation in which all sides recognize the legitimacy, the rightful claims, and the injustices (real or imagined) suffered by the others.
