Here Come Cowboys
N/A — The latest shootout at the Not OK Corral proves violence is a circle that makes the head spin.  Round two begins. How many will be dead before the insanity ends?  What remains after loading up the weapons and discharging them?  Discharge from the hospitals.  Or loading up the coffins.

Earnestly Wrought Hands
Jules Crittenden — ... : Killing people is wrong, and it is reprehensible that anyone would blindly support Israel’s efforts to get Hamas to stop doing it. Israelis out of Israel now! At least I think that’s what he’s saying. American media opinionator Greg Mitchell at HuffPo , silent on missiles coming out of Gaza, decries American media opinion silence on missiles going back into Gaza. Mitchell praises the fact that Israel has a robust free press, which examines and criticizes its government’s actions.  Unlike Gaza, where critics are thrown off rooftops. Mitchell fails to note any opinion ...

When In Doubt, Blame Bush For Gaza
JammieWearingFool — ... switching to Hamas instead of the much more moderate Fatah . 3. They have provided zero (0, null) leadership in the middle east. 4. They have given the wrong example by violating international law and randomly destroying another country (Iraq). 5. They are incompetent to handle international crises. 6. They suck in general . Such keen insight. Speaking of simpletons, E publisher Greg Mitchell, living in an absolute fantasy world, actually believes the American media is slanted in favor on Israel .

Sit on this fucker and rotate, bitches." Or, as Condoleezza Rice put it, "The United States strongly condemns the repeated rocket and mortar attacks against Israel and holds Hamas responsible for breaking the cease-fire and for the renewal of violence in Gaza." Which would be great if Hamas had broken the cease-fire. At best, that's up for debate, although most evidence points to Israel being the first dicks in the cock fight. And, to ...

The Third Rail
Suburban Guerrilla — Some signs of change in the blogosphere in the discussion over Israel and the Gaza war. In addition to the fine work of Glenn Greenwald, Jane Hamsher notes the pushback from Time’s Joe Klein; Open Left is home to some of the most thoughtful discussions around; and Greg Mitchell, editor of Editor & Publisher, is pushing the media to do their jobs. Paul Rosenberg: You see, I think it’s pretty obvious, and quite rational why a progressive blog, particularly one with a significant Jewish presence, would focus ...
