Sewage Pipes.
That's what the Government gives them.
Many of the Jewish residents from Gaza who were removed by the Israeli Government during the "Disengagement" were relocated to temporary housing in Nitzan (3 years in temporary housing with no solution is another issue).
The problem is their temporary housing is made totally of sheetrock, and there are no shelters or concrete walls in case of the falling rockets from Gaza.
Today, the IDF Homefront command brought in concrete sewage pipes as a temporary measure...
I found that at The Muqata, where the Muqata Staff is live blogging the War around the clock.
The picture just hit me hard, after all, this is really the end result of the stupidity of the "disengagement" and that photo really makes the point. Imagine, your government kicks you out of your home and off your land to give it to terrorists who want to kill you and your family and your people. In return for taking your home, your land, and your livelihood, the Government promises you a new house, and enough land to rebuild your farm, and your life but instead puts you in a temporary house made of what amounts to compacted dust and cardboard and charges you rent while you wait for the promised home and land. And then, when the terrorists bomb your new temporary neighborhood from your old neighborhood, your Government gives you a sewage pipe to protect you and your children. And you are, of course, grateful.
When the Israeli Government gave Gaza to the Palestinians, we knew that Gaza would become a terrorist state and it has. The Palestinians are terrorists, with one goal, to destroy Israel, and cleanse the land of Jews. Hamas is no different from Fatah. There is no such thing as a moderate terrorist. No matter which one kills you, you are still dead.

Thanks for the link and for sharing Linda. I'm glad they got those concrete pipe 'bunkers'. They only work if the residents have time to get inside and only if they have end protection too. They are no deterrent for a direct hit.
There are a few news crews from Fox who have been on the receiving end but they too will not put to full a description of the terror of being shelled randomly. This should be broadcast loud and clear, unfortunately the lizards in congress haven't been under fire and side with the ragheads who get full UN support. I hear talk of a temporary ceasefire for humanitarian reasons, bad move, there is nothing humanitarian about Hamas or Hezbollah, keep the pressure on until they sue for peace.

Well said Linda - I agree 100% with you on this.

CHEEZ LOUISE!
Someone needs to have their heads examined...because they sure aren't thinking with them!

So, if those rockets can penetrate concrete ceilings of buildings, what's the purpose of putting people in concrete pipes? I guess it's for cases other than direct hits, where shrapnel from a proximate explosion WON'T penetrate them? But then, buildings do that, too. Or is it that they are easy to get into and out of at a moment's notice? Well, whatever it is, it would be far preferable for us to eliminate the terrorists, like Hamas, Fatah, Al Aqsa, PFLP, etc., etc., though not as easy politically.

Oh, but don't worry, we can rely on the USA to help us... or not.
