Haifa has also been targeted by Hezbollah. Among the first dead were workers in a railroad repair yard. I worked on the railroads in America, as a young Marxist. These railroad workers are my people, along with the Kabbalists. It is also difficult to avoid the presumption that rockets have fallen on Haifa precisely because it represents, once again, Arab-Jewish cooperation. Indeed, the whole Hezbollah target zone is filled with Arab communities that have learned to function within Israel. They include Nazareth, the Christian holy site, which has an Arab majority and whose walls are also decorated with leftist posters bearing the same scarlet banners as those seen in Haifa.

Notice how we never hear the same "slice of life" stories about Israel that we're getting about Lebanon? This may just be one man's travelogue, but it's still a glimpse behind the curtain that few people can be bothered to offer these days.
