Turning Kassam rocket shrapnel into fundraiser for Israeli bombshelters
How does one fight back against rockets that rain from the sky? Maybe a little Alinsky-style ridicule. Maybe publicizing heart-wrenching stories of victims. One Israeli artist, Yaron Bob, has used his metal-working skill to turn rockets into roses. The funds support construction of Israeli bomb shelters in endangered neighborhoods. The gifts range from $25 keychains to larger bouquets costing thousands.

It's high art. If I could afford one, I'd buy it and keep it as a conversation piece.
It's a sad statement of the "condition of the region" isn't it?
Great way to turn it back on them. I love it when that happens.
Oddly enough, I have been in an Israeli bombshelter. I was on vacation when the war between them and Lebanon broke out.
They do a good job making them less scary for the children.
This is an amazing way to keep them updated with supplies and to show the human spirit can overcome virtually anything. Great find.
Thanks for promoting such a worthy cause.
There are just too many limited editions. There are just too many rockets ...
A rose by any other name would still blow up in your face? Or something. Yea, I know, I'm in a weird(er) mood than usual. :)
Merry Christmas Opie! God bless.
Reminds me of that song, "Every Rose Has A Thorn", only in reverse.
And yep, Hamm-Ass is poison.
Merry Christmas
Hi Opie! This is a wonderful idea. It is always great to take what the haters mean for bad, and turn it into something good.
I hope you are enjoying the week. PS: Check your emails.
A video about this from WeJew: http://wejew.com/media/9703/Menorah_Made_From_Sderot_Kassam_Rockets/
A good lesson on the free soul/free market way of achieving private entrepreneur for more self supporting/sustainable effort to help give cover to others.
After the U. N. mandate to take control of the WEB, is, a good guess, that stories like this will be vanishing in the galaxy of bytes not to be seen by the likes of us.
I would like to see some flowers made from the bones of those who fired the rockets.
