* We're up to 6 dead in the Bank over the past 24hr. (The two overnight + 4.) I wonder how ugly is everything we're not hearing about.
(This, this is what I was amazed was not happening during the first round of riots. Remember that? When it was about 3 murdered Israeli teenagers and 1 murdered Palestinian one?)
* +2 dead soldiers plus final confirmation that #7 from the APC incident is dead. One of today's is friendly fire, putting the number of those killed by friendly fire at 3 out of 35.
* ...oh, did I mention there was a rocket fall at Eilat yesterday? There was a rocket fall at Eilat yesterday.
* The number of Palestinian dead is upwards of 800.
* I'm beginning to get annoyed at people who think that Israelis who do not express empathy at Palestinian suffering are failing some moral duty. Uh, how about no. How about, when someone's elect government is trying to kill you and yours and is publicly sworn to murder every last one of you, you do what you need not only to stay alive but to say sane and that means choosing what you're going to tear your heart over.
Sometimes, all that talk about "Given the usual lies, that's probably at least 300-400 combatants out of the 800 and not the less than 200 they own up to" is not spite and hate, but a last-ditch attempt against grief and horror all too great.
