A number of questions

European Union's foreign policy chief, Baroness Catherine Ashton, is due to arrive in Gaza today.
1. Will she meet with Gilad Shalit?
2. Will she condemn the rocket attacks from Gaza including two that hit Sderot on Wednesday evening?
3. Will Joe Biden condemn the rocket attacks?
4. A blogger is organizing a conference call to the parents of Rachel Corrie in an initiative to help lift the siege in Gaza. I left the following comment.
"Can you have Gilad Shalit for the next conference call, followed by Alan Johnston"?
Why did he neglect to publish my comment?
5. Finally, did anyone read Martin Sherman's article entitled Rethinking Palestine?
It is time for the proponents of the two-state solution to admit that the Palestinians have failed the test of history in staking their claim for statehood.
A dispassionate evaluation of the events of the past two decades inexorably compels one towards an increasing evident conclusion: The Palestinians seem far more focused on annulling Jewish political independence than on attaining Palestinian political independence; far more committed to deconstruction of the Jewish state than to construction of a Palestinian one.

UPDATE:
Palestinian militants fired a rocket into Israel from the Gaza Strip Thursday, killing a Thai agricultural worker, while the European Union's foreign affairs chief was visiting the Hamas-controlled enclave.
