Further notes (added 8/2/09):
"In Israel, "terror attack" means "we can blame the Palestinians" while "criminal" means "it was only a Jew." Lovely distinction, isn't it? To murder people you don't even know, whether because your church, your tribe, or your nation says to, is a crime of hate designed to spread terror. Period."
~Elliott BatTzedek, in response to the shooting
I almost never post news here, but this one came at me hard.
"Israel: this country I love so much,
that each of its betrayals
feels like the end of a rifle
jabbed against my heart."

'Tel Aviv Gay Massacre'
"A gunman clad entirely in black opened fire with an automatic weapon on a group of gay teenagers who were attending a weekly support group."
