The Arabs, led by Saudi Arabia, have condemned Hezbollah. A decade ago the only reports we'd be seeing would include pictures of mobs in the Arab Street shouting "Death to Israel". As tragic and possibly far from over is the current conflict, there has been movement in what amounts to glacial forces over the last decade and since we invaded Iraq.

I've noticed that .. and it's very telling

Not just Egypt, but now, through their rhetoric and led by Saudi Arabia, the majority of Arab nations have indicated a willingness to peacefully co-exist with a secure Israel. There hasn't been so profound a shift, or moment in contemporary world events since the tearing down of the Berlin Wall.

I had to post this again. Very good reminders that some MAJOR corners have been turned in the ME. Post 2751, full blog article

Hello,

I plan to, "oh yeah".

Seriously, I hope and pray for the safety of those who are in harms way. Those that simply want to live in peace deserve that, instead of constant attacks. None of us know where this will go, but I must believe that it will result in the destruction of evil.

Good night to all, I'll be here for tomorrows thread, MOgirl

What did I miss? Went to mass, peeked in, what to a long procession. Prayers went up for all... Where did they hit?
Why is no one noticing these are holy places? Dumb question... it's not Mecca or the Mosque there.

IDF censor issues guidelines for media

By SHEERA CLAIRE FRENKEL

Following criticism that media outlets were "aiding and abetting the enemy" through their coverage of the rocket attacks in northern Israel, the IDF Censor released a policy paper on Sunday.

Press agencies were asked not to release specific information regarding the location or status of bomb shelters, or the visits of military and political officials to the North. They were also given guidelines how to report missile attacks and strongly urged not to use any "real-time" reporting on the exact location of rocket hits.

Media outlets have been increasingly criticized in recent days for divulging information that could be helpful to operators orchestrating the missile attacks in the North.

"The media clearly have a job to inform the public, and they must fulfill that position… but today we are facing a specific problem that could endanger lives," said Shai Nachman, a former IDF spokesman and the current head of the United Jewish Communities in Israel. "We don't need to say exactly where rockets are falling. That is feeding information into the hands of those launching the rockets!"

Shai explained that artillery could easily be re-aimed at targets using the information provided by media outlets.

"The terrorists already know where most of our sensitive targets are, but there is no point in helping them along," he said.

Neither are you. Three people, LOL, including myself, were told to drop it. It's finished. There is no point in continuing to hurt people's feelings or make trouble. However, people keep getting in their digs after it's over.

Indeed, that blog post was the most positive thing I've read all day. I sent it out to my email list.

Things are far from perfect over there but there are chinks in the old arab armor that have never been there before.

Somehow, I think it's time to say a prayer...
