By ROBERT LAURIE - Israeli children pretend to hear "the sirens"

When your country sits aside territory controlled by one of the world's most prolific terrorist organizations, I guess you have to expect this kind of thing. Still, watching these Israeli children make a game out of hiding from an inbound rocket attack is simply heartbreaking.

If you're in the U.S. and things aren't so great this Thanksgiving, just count your blessings. You could be living with Hamas as a next door neighbor.

Before someone counters with a smarmy "Gaza has playgrounds too" comment, please understand the difference.  In Israel kids play on their playgrounds.  In Gaza, Hamas uses them to protect the rocket launchers with which they terrorize Israeli children.
