When you say “Mubarak supporters,” you really mean “police and army”: The AP does its usual job bringing you less than the news. Funny how suddenly 3,000 supporters of Hosni Mubarak just decided to go after the protesters in Tahrir Square. Considering there were a quarter-million yesterday, and only 10k today, I’m thinking Mubarak wins this one. And Anderson Cooper! Why would anyone want to attack a nice guy like him? (P.S.: Here’s one good for a giggle: Egypt denies that the Mubarak supporters are undercover police or army.)
But nobody was hurt, so it doesn’t really matter: Ynet has the video of the Grad rocket landing in Israel the other day. If the rocket had been just a few yards closer, dozens would have died—at a wedding reception. You have to search really hard to find notice of the rocket attacks. But just wait until the next time a Palestinian stubs a toe, even during the all-Egypt, all the time coverage.
That’s all I have energy for today. The damned virus is back.
And even the Grad hasn’t stopped Thomas Friedman from drawing a lesson from the trouble in Egypt. Israel needs to make peace. The guy’s a monomaniac.
And, of course, Refua Shlaima

There was another Grad rocket as well, that landed in Ofakim. thank G-d it did not hurt anyone and — unlike the rocket that landed near the wedding party — did not even damage property. Ofakim of course is well within the Green Line. Like that matters to the murderers.
