From Fred Lapides:
Steven Chapman on Daddy War Blogs (one of the best names ever) quotes
Iain Coleman’s interesting theory for explaining why European commentators immediately reach for the Holocaust metaphors when talking about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Phew. Let the nice people stop for breath, won’t you, Imshin.

And

A legal expert said on Israel radio, this morning that the law in Israel allows for these guys to be executed for treason. It’s not likely to happen, though. Israeli judges are famous for their mercifulness (not like some judges round these parts).

Hope you enjoy your holiday, Fred.
