De libanese webloggers zijn de afgelopen twee dagen al regelmatig geciteerd hier. De hoogste tijd dus voor een rondje langs de velden in de joodse blogosfeer (israëlische en joods-amerikaanse weblogs). Een random greep uit de recente posts:
Feestende Palestijnen- “I heard a lot of gunshots and firecrackers coming from nearby Arab villages last night. Obviously celebrating the Katyusha “rockets” falling on Haifa. It’s happening all over the West Bank. Let’s stop calling them rockets. Rockets are what were used to explore space in the sixties and seventies. Rockets are used to launch fireworks into the air. Missiles. Missiles. Missiles. They are launching missiles at our cities”. (TheViewFromHere)
Bedankt voor de bommen– “Do they stop for even half a second to think how they would feel if an Arab nation bombed Tel Aviv to gain the upper hand on some Israeli political/military faction?” (RichardSilverstein)
Oorlogseconomie- “Israel’s economy is sustained by its arms industry and by military aid from abroad. If there is no war, there is no money flowing into the region. Therefore, I believe that Israel may choose military options when unnecessary, seeking out justifications for the escalation of the conflict”. (OrthodoxAnarchist)
Zidane et le beurre sur la tête- “Sorry for the Lebanese, but they are simply paying the price for their ( government’s and the UN’s ) weakness and indecisiveness. The UN, France and several other countries and international organizations think that it should be only Israel that pays that price. Well, I couldn’t care less. It seems that most French believe that Zinadine Zidane had the right to defend the honor of his mother and sister in a violent way. With all due respect, the safety of my family and of all soldiers and citizens of my country means more to me than the honor of les dames Zidane, and I think that Israel’s violence is well measured and not less proportional than Zizou’s”.
