The Italians disable 5 US based websites

Police in Italy didn't care that five Web sites they deemed blasphemous and thus illegal were located in the United States, where First Amendment protections apply. The police shut them down anyway.

The Yanks are up in arms about it, naturally. "Other nations shouldn't be allowed to impose their laws on our citizens! Only we should be able to do that sort of thing!"

More light than heat at Slashdot, for a change.

This one is good, too.

But don't look at this one. Trust me, you don't want to see it.

"A great success"

Israel kills twelve, including 8 children. "A great success", according to Ariel Sharon.

Naturally, this isn't terrorism. Oh no, if the bomb comes from a warplane, it can't be terrorism, can it?

War crimes, then?

Hamas will strike back, as night follows day, and more innocents will die.

None of this is surprising, of course. Inevitable after the Bush proposal.

There are voices of sanity, but they seem to be few. "The use of violence as a means of solving problems is demeaning to us as human beings. Attacking civilians of any kind anywhere is totally unacceptable."

It's clear to be that both sides are in the wrong. If I'm a little more harsh towards Israel, it's because I am part Jewish myself. If the Jews havn't learned the importance of humanity, what hope is there?
