— A rocket from the Gaza Strip struck a house in central Israel before dawn, forcing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to cut short a U.S. trip where he had hoped to showcase his diplomatic stature ahead of April 9 elections.
“This was a criminal attack on the State of Israel, and we will respond forcefully,” the prime minister said in a video provided by his office. He will meet with President Donald Trump on Monday morning, but will leave the U.S. without delivering a speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee in person.
Postponing a vote would require special legislation backed by 80 of parliament’s 120 legislators. It has happened once before, around the 1973 Middle East war. The rocket fire interrupted a U.S. trip Netanyahu hoped would restore luster to a campaign tarnished by his recent entanglement in a naval acquisition bribery scandal. The prime minister has not been a suspect in the case, which has ensnared some of his closest associates, but Israeli media say prosecutors are weighing investigating him after learning Netanyahu once held shares in a company that supplied the Germany shipbuilder Thyssenkrupp AG.
Why won't those darn Palestinians just accept their dispossession peacefully?

I don't know why they are concerned about strip searches. Cops stop people for no reason and are able to demand breath samples. refuse and the penalty is the same as a guilty penalty. It is a shame that we have allowed our civil rights to be stripped.
