Her name was Kaukab al Dayah. She was 4.

Israel often tells us they must do these things because they are surrounded by a billion hostile Arabs who wake up each with nothing on their mind but to wipe them from the map.
This is not true. If it was, Israel, nuclear weapons and all, would be gone.
Someday though, perhaps soon, that myth will become reality.
The real collateral damage from the Gaza Massacre will be Israel.
To those of you in Israel with a heart, make peace now. This is not the way forward.
Shalom.
Why are you bringing up the Iraq war? We fought that war on your behest, you ungrateful shits. It was your minions in the Pentagon and on Capital Hill that forged documents, faked intelligences, and pushed for the Iraq War.
It was your media that lied to the American people that Iraq was a threat to the United States, which it was not: it was a threat to Israel, just like Iran is (not) now.
Yeah, we committed massive war crimes in Iraq. And I called my congress, and I wrote letters to the editor, and I posted on internet newsboards. And it was your Zionist pigs who called me a traitor, your Zionist pigs who marginalized those who called for sanity, your Zionist pigs who blackballed retired Generals, Statesman, and scholars who were against the war and not allowed on the air.
You ungrateful, arrogant bastards.
Who is the U.S. Congress listening to?

DO NOT VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO RECEIVES PRO-ISRAEL MONEY!
I Repeat: Do not vote for anyone who recieves pro-Israel money.
And, in my last big letter, I was singling out Zionists, not Jews. If you read it again, I even singled out Jews from Zionists as having different values.
Robert Fisk’s World: Wherever I go, I hear the same tired Middle East comparisons

"Why would they attack us?" - average US citizen after 9/11
If they don't get it now, they never will.
Olmert told the Knesset that there is "no need to get all fired up" about the rockets, and a major military operation in Gaza would be "out of proportion to the pressures we face." Public Security Minister Avi Dichter declared in July 2006 that disengagement was a success despite the rocket attacks, because "10 months without any Israeli being killed" from Gaza "is an extraordinary achievement"; that same month, former premier Ariel Sharon's chief strategist, Dov Weisglass, said the rockets do not detract from disengagement's success, because "the physical damage they do is not great."
Prepare for the same again. The rockets aren't the point. You didn't attack because of the rockets, it was an excuse. Israel was at least as responsible for breaking the cease fire. There's much discussion within Israel regarding the real point -- elections, keeping all "government" weak in Gaza, etc. Everytime you attack Gaza you kill Gaza police and then complain about lack of security?!?
I don't think Hamas actions are particularly strategic. The rockets strike me as acts of desperation -- because they're virtually worthless. Hamas may not be acting rationally. I don't know. Seems to me they are acting out of desperation. You already have negotiated with Hamas to get the temporary cease fire. Hamas has already shown willingness to negotiate.
Since you believe the rockets excuse your massive retaliation, what would 1you do if you were Palestinian and Israelis occupied your territory for 40 years? Moved into your borders and kill hundreds when ever they feel like it? Block access out of Gaza? Blockade your seas? Target and kill your government officials? Kill women and children?
The drive you took to Sderot represents multiple factors of freedom Gazans do not have. Whose land did you drive across?
I have condemned the Hamas rockets. You cheerlead the death of women and children.
You obviously don't give a shit about collateral damage.
I do give a shit about collateral damage, especially Israeli collateral damage. And I suggest Hamas start to give a shit about collateral damage, especially Gazan collateral damage, when they decide where they hid their ammo and fighters, and where they shoot rockets at Israeli cities. Because Israel WILL destroy them, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE.
Understand?
How masculine!
Once near Bethlehem at a roadblock a man in an IDF uniform with a Brooklyn accent stopped our car. He looked at my passport and told me I had only three weeks left to stay in Israel.
And here you are, alive and well, and whining about travel restrictions in a war zone.
Compare that with what happened to three Israeli men who got lost and ended up in Ramallah on October 13, 2000:
Inside the blue gates the Palestinian police mounted the wall, automatic weapons at the ready. But they were no contest for the mob. Screaming "Death to the Jews," and "Don't betray us, hand them over," they surged in waves towards the station, brandishing guns, knives and iron bars.
"You could not count the people. They were just pushing, pushing forward towards the station," said one witness. "By this point, the rabble was controlling everything."
A local restaurant owner said she tried to intervene. "I told the police to take the Jews to the district co-ordination office [the liaison for Israeli forces in the West Bank]. I told them, 'We don't want to kill them. There will be big trouble'."
It was already too late.
Fuelled by hate the mob stampeded through the gates and young men began scaling the walls of the station and overhanging trees. The police did not even fire in the air. Moments later a man appeared at the corner window, raising his blood-stained hands in triumph.
One man was dumped out of the window. Then, witnesses said, two others were dragged out by the mob, leaving dark streaks of blood on the pavement.
With their t-shirts pulled over their heads, they were frogmarched towards the main square. Some witnesses said the men were passed from hand to hand over the heads of their captors as the mob made a victory procession around the stone lions of Manara square. Others said the men were stabbed and their bodies burnt.
Eventually two bodies were handed over to Israeli forces. They were burnt and severely mutilated, an army spokesman said. "Use your apocalyptic imagination to figure out what they looked like," said a spokesman.
In Ramallah, meanwhile, a deep sense of dread descended as the Palestinians awaited Israel's inevitable retribution.
Plain-clothed gunmen began to hunt down and beat reporters and television cameramen, and police appeared with loudspeakers, ordering people to return to their homes.
As the streets emptied gunmen with Kalashnikovs took up position at five-metre intervals around the police station. Several surrounded foreign reporters and demanded to see their passports and proof that they were not Israeli citizens. In the police station an armed man in police uniform stood at the smashed window watching the scene.
Shop shutters rolled down, and residents of blocks of flats overlooking the station barricaded themselves in their homes or joined a long stream of cars heading out of town. Those who had witnessed, or perhaps participated in, the murders refused to speak.
"This is the silence before the storm," said one policeman, who refused to give his name.
"I hope that Kofi Annan can do something, and that Yasser Arafat and Ehud Barak can do something before there is more killing. Jews and Arabs, we are all human beings, but that does not seem to matter any more. I think that we have become like Lebanon now. I don't like blood, but this is our life."

Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
