2. I had no idea Al Jaz Ramallah had a day care center!

You know sharon's death squads don't get out of bed unless there are some toddlers available to "die as a result of Israeli tank fire during the period of calm"

3. The CNN of the Mideast is inconveniently noncompliant..
Hard to understand how ordinary people can ignore evidence of the gross hypocrisy of the US/Israel when looking at treatment of Al Jazeera.

Of course, AJ's not exactly covered on CNN anymore, not like the early days.

It's so hard getting any facts and stories from Palestine.

4. A new update, finally

40 jeeps in there. I'm thinking Arafat might not survive this one. I read in a sidebar as I was searching, that a few of the Sharon supporters say, "he's lost his mind." Do you think he will really kill Arafat as he threatened before?
