Wow, you people will keep repeating the same positions without even engaging with contrary argument. Just read the article - the expert does comment on the fact that rockets have produced little damage. Oh, and remember - also during Operation Cast Lead, the damage they produced was minimal...

UN school sheltering Gaza displaced hit by Israel shells | Maan News Agency GAZA CITY (AFP) -- A United Nations school sheltering displaced Palestinians in central Gaza came under Israeli fire on Tuesday as a team was inspecting damage from a day earlier, a UN official said. The official...

Israel's Iron Dome: Weapons Expert Warns of Major Flaws - Businessweek “We’re not trying to bash Iron Dome,” says weapons scientist Richard Lloyd, author of a research paper that calls into question the effectiveness of Israel’s now famous rocket-defense system. “We’re trying to help Iron...

Speaking this morning as Israeli forces continue a new ground offensive in the Gaza Strip, Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu described the IDF as "a moral army like no other". He added: "those responsible for the damage to uninvolved civilians are the Hamas, and Hamas alone, who use civilians as...

Al Jazeera Holds Israel Responsible For Shots Fired At Gaza Office NEW YORK -- Al Jazeera’s office in Gaza came under fire Tuesday, and the network says it is holding Israel responsible. An Al Jazeera spokesman said Tuesday that Israeli foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman’s harsh comments about...

Zionists are leaving all pretense that they care about civilian life.

To be honest with you, Hazzy, I doubt WASP journos would be any more decent. As for Jewish Americans, a tiny but vocal, visible minority of them are speaking out. Today, Glenn Greenwald and Jon Schwarz, two Jewish writers, have posted this article comparing Netanyahu's rhetoric with Goebbels'...

More on the obscene media bias in the West.

According to Haaretz, seven more were killed today, raising the total number to 25.

Makes no sense. Keidar is not a Mullah, or even a Jewish version of a Mullah. He's an academic. So how about you respond to the story instead of using it as a prop to vent your anger at Mullahs, which is not related to this story.

Israeli scholar: ‘Only raping the sister of a Palestinian can deter him’ | +972 Magazine Dr. Mordechai Keidar, a lecturer on Arabic literature at Bar Ilan University, is well known for his right wing views. Yet today in an interview [Heb] to the Israeli Broadcasting authority given after the...

It appears today's IDF death toll was a bit higher: 16. That would mean 21 soldiers have died on last two days.

I've noticed that Haaretz's Twitter timeline is avoiding any mention of the capture -- anything confirming or denying it. And Ali Abunimah's reminded us of this: It may be that Israel has been gagged from reporting on the subject; that would explain Haaretz's silence. If true, then that's...

Look at the update of my post -- I posted a link where the IDF itself is now saying that it isn't sure whether a soldier has been captured or not. And honestly, Hazzy, I do want this to be true - I'm seeing that news of the capture have lifted Palestinian morale and I love that. And I agree with...

It appears there's some confusion between the soldiers' names - Oron Shaul and Shaul Aron. In case it's the same man, there are reports that yes, he has been killed and he may be already on Israeli soil. -- Update -- On the other hand, it appears that the Israeli military itself is not sure...

I understand that Hamas doesn't have a record of lying but that Israel has - it lied about the soldiers that Hezbollah captured in 2006 being alive in order to justify the offensive and it made the same lie about the 3 settlers recently killed in order to manipulate popular passions in Israel to...

I'm not sure - now I think people are just assuming he couldn't be alive because of his being listed as one of the 13 deaths.

The Israelis are denying the capture - they've listed him as one of the 13 soldiers killed today (which Hamas say are 14).
