Harry at Squaring the Boston Globe catches the Globe in a sin of omission: Whitewashing the Facts of Murder
This utter whitewash of the facts concerning the kidnapping and murder of a young Jew is enough to make any Jew paranoid. I wonder if B’nai B’irth accepts Catholics as members?
See his post for the details and links.
I'm tired of reading that this kid was a "settler." He was an Israeli. Period. What the hell has being a settler to do with anything? It's somehow less of a sin to murder this kid? (They didn't execute him because of the Gaza situation, they planned to kill him and trade his corpse. Sick.) Because someone didn't like where he was living? Would Israelis be somehow less morally liable if they kidnapped and killed Arabs building illegal housing in Jerusalem?
If you're noticing that you've been hearing more and more about the "Popular Resistance Committees" of late, that's because it's effectively Hamas under a different name. Hamas supports them but let's the "PRC" claim the credit so Hamas can keep up this silly facade of a "truce" up. It's an illusion for export only.

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."
