Keep watching Israellycool for live blogging updates, as well as The Muqata. Jack has a link round-up here. Meryl is also keeping it going with short takes.
And, as a reminder the IDF has a YouTube channel, a YahooGroup and a Blog. (Update: And on Twitter.)
Now is the next dangerous step. It looks like the world is giving Israel every chance to get this thing right and will not be successful in bailing Hamas out with a premature cease-fire. The Israelis still have a ticking clock -- the clock in Lebanon ran out, let's hope it doesn't this time.
There was a massive Pro-Hamas demonstration in downtown Boston today. As soon as I have the photos and videos from Solomonia operatives who were there I'll try to get a post up, either tonight or tomorrow.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!

My TiVO couldn't find it ... I guess this must have been a last minute decision?
Yeah, mine doesn't show it, either. Maybe it's on instead of Hannity's America.
I found it on the Fox News Channel listed as "special programming" starting at 9pm.
