I was born in Brooklyn (like everybody), but I served in the Israeli army; my first reserve duty was the Six-Day War. My father was a Palestinian--born in Poland, emigrated to Palestine when he was three years old, in 1920. I inherited a deep love of Israel from him. I hate the stream of lies I read and hear daily about Israel. I love Israel's people--all of them. [Contact me: joel dot orr at gmail dot com]

FALSE MORAL EQUIVALENCE HEADLINE OF THE WEEK:
HonestReporting.com points out:
(courtesy of Agence France-Presse)
"Two Israelis, Two Palestinians Killed in Suicide Bombings and Ambushes"
http://sg.news.yahoo.com/020730/1/31286.html
In this case, two does not equal two. The two dead Israelis were brothers who had gone on Tuesday to a Palestinian village to sell fuel. The two dead Palestinians were a suicide bomber (Jerusalem falafel stand), and a man who broke into a Jewish home and stabbed two Israelis, before being shot by security guards.

IDF - from the Hamas Web forum: How to kill Americans
From the Hamas web site forum:
1. Al- Awsad (user number 1):
Once a week, a group of American "dogs" come near us on the sea front. I have been following them for a long time and am interested in your suggestions for ways to get rid of them secretly.
...
8. UNITY_MANAGER (user number 6):
Put cyanide in the water (tank). They will die within 10 seconds. They won't even have time to scream in pain. Make sure that they DESERVE TO DIE, that is, that they are soldiers OR JEWS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. (emphasis added)

Update from HonestReporting.com
A report covering a range of issues from the vigilant media watchdog.
israelinsider: Views: The enemy within
The Israeli press officer in Dubline condemned the Gaza attack. A sane Foreign Ministry would immediately remove the traitorous Dr. O'Carroll. But then, a sane Foreign Ministry wouldn't be headed by Peres.
Glick: Strategy for victory
In her JPost column, Carolyn Glick puts forth common sense for the Israeli government.

If you want to know what Jews are really like, read this
Here is a translation of the eulogy spoken by Tzvi Yehuda Dickstein, not yet 21, the eldest of the surviving nine children of Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Dickstein, 44, and his wife Chana, 42. Murdered along with them in their car was their son Shuva'el Tzion, 9.
N'omi Orr: A Russian proverb few remember
As this piece points out, the "logic" of the left in Israel is seriously flawed.
Some perspective from Gary Bauer
This brief note reminds us that our actions are not unique in recent history.
