Gaza residents surviving off animal feed and rice as food dwindles Meanwhile, in a performance that would make Goebbels proud, Adolf Netanyahu's propagandists chime in: This would be laughable if it wasn't so sick and untrue. Many Israelis seem to think that any level of inhumanity...

I'm not sure the progress of proper discussion is the idea here. I think the idea is that the video is supposed to supersede any discussion. You don't need to have a proper discussion; there's already an hour's worth of proper discussion that resolves the whole thing. So you can stop thinking...

There's a price to pay for supporting terrorism: It's hardly been a secret that the PA and PLO have supported terrorists all these years, and they were caught red-handed in this attack. Maybe enough of this and the Palestinians will act like the civilized country they claim to be and demand to...

From friday's papers in israel: 1). Kids on a hanukkah visit to an artillery battery were treated to a cool demonstration: the battery happened to have orders to bomb Gaza with live artillery shells, so the kids stayed around to watch the battery's "tolarim" (mobile artillery pieces) fire live...
