"Horror Upon Horror"

 
Yesterday, I was planning comments I still wanted to make about the Itamar massacre -- comments I will make in due course. 
 
And then came the pigua -- the terrorist attack in Jerusalem: a bomb exploded next to a bus.  A horror in its own right -- with one dead and 39 injured. 
 
But for us here in Jerusalem it evokes the memory of what was called the second intifada of ten years ago, a Palestinian Arab terror war against us that was put down when we moved back into PA areas of Judea and Samaria in Operation Defensive Shield.
 
And on top of this, there has been a barrage of rockets coming from Gaza into southern Israel -- including two Grad Katyusha rockets into Be'ersheva.
 
But when I went to write about all of this, I found that my computer was misbehaving and I could not. 
 
Only now has my computer been fixed, and so now I can write to my list to express apologies. 
 
Dear readers, after Shabbat I will have much to say.  Now I have an obligation to a family event -- a happy event! -- that prevents me from doing a regular posting.
