I find them invaluable while at work and away from the news. Let's hope for a good news day!

"Israeli artillery shells earlier exploded in the hills of southern Lebanon, sometimes as many as 15 per minute. The military said its aircraft were hitting Hezbollah targets all over the country."

15 per minute, that'll clear out some land.

What an excellent job you do with these threads.

After the war I nominate you to do the "what can we do to defeat the 5th column threads"?

20:55 PDT Tom Gross in the Jerusalem Post: “Large sections of the international media are not only misreporting the current conflict in Lebanon. They are actively fanning the flames. The BBC has a strong claim to be the number one villain.”

19:20 PDT Yoav Stern of Haaretz reviews Hezbollah’s media releases which claim dozens of IDF soldiers killed, all shot in the back while fleeing; an Israeli ship sunk of Tyre with all hands, for which photos are unfortunately missing. And the star of the show, the spellbinding Nasrallah, who “simply is an excellent speaker”.

18:56 PDT The Belgravia Dispatch reprints an erudite comment on the origins of the Hezbollah.

I was all of 10 or 11 when that song was going around...and it stuck in my mind. Very acidy. I liked the music of it then. Sort of went out of my mind. Then one day, my hubby who's a big Donovan fan mentioned a line from the song, and I managed to pull all the lyrics back up. Amazing what gets stored in the brain like that....

Do18:31 PDT Hezbollah says it won’t accept a ceasefire while a single Israeli soldier remains in Lebanon.

Does that mean he plans on returning the hostages they have? Assuming they are still in Lebanon and alive.
