Gilad Shalit’s (Schalit) book, When the Shark and the Fish First Met, now appears on YouTube to mark two years since he was kidnapped.
The Consulate General of Israel filmed five fifth-grade students from New York reading the story that Shalit wrote when he, too, was eleven years old. “Gilad was a boy our age when he wrote this story; if only we could write something so significant at this age. Today, no one knows where he is and he probably misses his parents,” said one of the students. “If the shark and fish can make peace, why can’t people?”

Two suicide bombers carry out attack against Israeli civilians
Palestinian suicide terrorists carried out an attack against Israeli civilians shopping at a mall in the southern Israeli town of Dimona. In the attack, one Israeli civilian was killed and 38 wounded.
This morning, two Palestinian suicide terrorists carried out an attack against Israeli civilians shopping at a mall in the southern Israeli town of Dimona. One Israeli was killed, 38 were wounded - one critically, and two moderately.
Both terrorists were killed in the attack - the first detonated himself in the initial explosion, and the second was killed by an alert police officer as he was about to detonate his suicide bomb against the rescuers who were rushing to help the wounded.
The bombers deliberately chose to detonate themselves in a semi-enclosed crowed shopping area in order to kill and maim as many civilians as possible. The foreign media has reported that a Hamas statement from Gaza praised the attack, calling it an "heroic act".
In response to the attack, the Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman stated:
"In their terror attack today, the Palestinian terrorist organizations have shown once again, who they are and what they stand for.
Just like the Kassam rocket fire on Sderot and the sniper fire on Israeli fields bordering Gaza, today's attack deliberately targeted innocent civilians.
Worse yet, the terrorists' plan was to detonate a second suicide bomb against the rescue workers and ambulances rushing to assist the victims at the scene of the initial bombing. Imagine the carnage that would have been created if not for the heroic act of an off-duty policeman who identified and neutralized the second terrorist before he detonated himself.
Plain and simple: The terrorists' goal is to kill as many Israeli civilians as they can, wherever and whenever they can - in their homes, schools and shopping centers.
Israel will continue to fight this murderous terrorism, and will act in keeping with its right, and its duty, to protect the lives of its citizens."

Warning Graphic Content.
A Palestinian murder bomber blew himself up Monday in this desert town called Dimona, killing an Israeli woman and wounding 11 people in the first suicide attack inside Israel in a year.
The video shows Israeli Police killing a second attacker after a doctor found a suicide vest while treating him for wounds suffered in the blast.
It would not be the first time that 'human rights groups' have attacked Israel security forces for neutralising a bomber for fear of a explosion. It seems if it's not caught clearly on video then, those sympathetic to Palestinian terrorist can't wait to cry foul. It will be interesting to see how many 'activist' cry foul this time with such clear evidence.
It is a signature method of some terrorist groups including Al Quaida to deploy a second suicide bomber that detonates their bomb whilst emergency personnel are trying to help the wounded. The violence of this attack, and its intended second explosion reveals the true ruthlessness of Hamas.
Remember, this is not an accident, there is no miscalculation, the targets are innocent civilians, and Hamas is responsible.

Yes its true, despite a spectacular absence of blogging for over two months, Mr Bagel has returned.
Mr Bagel has been 'moving' from a remote country location to a more civilised part of Australia.
Moving has required Mr Bagel to do five seperate trips of over 2,000kms each, despite selling what we thought was almost all of our worldly possesions, we still had to do five trips to move our 'personal belongings'. Which raises one very valid point, how personal can 5 trailers worth of belongings be? Do you think Mr Bagel might just be a horder? mmm?
Anyway after selling all our furniture we have been rushing around buying beds and fridges and lounges and just about everything else required to life a civilised life. Now that Mr Bagel has moved to civilisation he has decided to stop talking to the soccer ball with a wig. (Tom Hanks.)
We've only been in town a week but, living where there are shops, and services is such a refreshing break from living hours away from the most basic shopping. Its taking some adjustment, I generally spoke to about 3 peaople a month where I lived, now I see hundreds a day.
Mr Bagel: Thank you to all the well wishers and the emails I received
