my two cents on the current conflict in the middle east: the israelis at the moment don't care one bit about world public opinion. at the moment, every single nation on the planet could be telling them to stop bombing lebanon, and they would still continue until they achieve whatever goal it is they think they can achieve. i think, therefore, that it is a waste of ink and/or spit to criticize them or try to reason with them, however justified the complaints might be, however rational the arguments. let's just wait until they finish what they're doing, and see what can be salvaged for lebanon, the palestinians, and the "peace process".

7/30/06: Israeli security forces caught 2 would-be suicide bombers on their way to commit an attack . The two were captured with explosive belts outside of Shechem (Nablus).
7/27/06: The body of Dr. Daniel Ya'akovi, 60, was found completely burned in the trunk of a car east of Kalkilya. He'd been killed by Palestinian terrorists.
7/18/06: A female soldier was stabbed as she waited for a bus outside of Beersheva. The assailant stole her gun and fled the scene. She was lightly injured.
7/17/06: A Palestinian suicide bomber was caught in downtown Jerusalem on his way to explode himself in crowded Zion Square.
7/7/06: One of two Kassam rockets fired by Palestinians landed in the Sderot market just hours before Shabbat began inuring 7 people.
7/5/06: Palestinian man caught on route to carry out suicide bombing with explosives belt on
7/5/06: 25-year-old Bethlehem woman caught by IDF planning a suicide bombing
Maybe the Israelis are just getting better at stopping them. Could also be explained by the fact that almost all Israeli citizens are in active reserve duty and so security all over the country has been heightened.
