These are powerful photos about the plight of those living in and around Sderot. I appreciate all the recent posts you've had on the subject, Rick. Here's a story from my blog of the Bar-On family, who live on Kibbutz Nir-Am: http://www.jewishjournal.com/thegodblog/2007/12/safe-for-now-in-sderot.html
