Reading around

I’ve spent the evening reading through other people’s blogs and news posts. I’ve also tried to find how are we, Israelies, are presented in the world mainstream media, as well as reading Ant-Israeli/Pro-Palestinian blogs.

Home Front Command: What to do in a rockets attack

Here is a picture of the instruction paper I got. It in Hebrew, so all you non-Hebrew readers can go to the Home Front Command website and read it there, and even watch an instruction video.

About 5 minutes after I arrived to my parents house I […]

Try this game. See Israel’s problem

An excellent game showing you the benefits terror organizations have when fighting from within civilian areas.
If Israel doesn’t kill them, they shoot us and kill our civilians. If we do kill them, we likely to kill civilians in the process, making the world and Lebanese public opinion pro-Hizballa - and creating new terrorists.
You got to […]

YouTube war videos

The internet plays a big role in this war, no less then the mainstream media in many cases. It allows people to talk with the other side personally. It allows the sharing of many opinion, images and, thanks to YouTube, also videos.
Here is a partial list. If you know of any other intereting videos […]

The Guardian reports who Hezbollah really is

An intersting post from Allison.
“It’s a report from the world of Hizbullah in the Guardian. — and paints a chilling picture of a truly scary organization. I read it and think: these are the guys Israel is supposed to fight with “restraint” and “proportion?” WE’RE the violent war-crazed ones? Our soldiers who are regular […]
