SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) Several Norwegian political parties have demand the country’s foreign ministry publicly denounce an e-mail circulated by a Norwegian diplomat this week, which equated Israel’s counter-terror operation in Gaza to the Holocaust, according to the Haaretz daily.”

SNIPPET: “Norway’s fifth largest party, the Christian Democrats, have already filed a critical query with the ministry on the matter, in which they asked whether the ministry intends to reprimand the diplomat who sent the letter. The query was co-signed by members of several other large parties.”

SNIPPET: “The latest form of jihad: Jihad al-Ziwaj, or “Marriage-Jihad””

GAZA CITY: There was no party, no celebrations when 22-year-old Aida al-Qaddumi finally got married this week.

There were no regrets either — she said she was marrying to raise “fighters” and asked only that she might die as a “martyr” in Israel.

“Social networking Arab hatred of Israel”
Rick Moran

SNIPPET: “As the street protests went on, young Egyptians also were mobilizing and venting their anger over Gaza on what would, until recently, have seemed an unlikely venue: Facebook, the social-networking site. In most countries in the Arab world, Facebook is now one of the 10 most-visited Web sites, and in Egypt it ranks third, after Google and Yahoo. About one in nine Egyptians has Internet access, and around 9 percent of that group are on Facebook — a total of almost 800,000 members.

This month, hundreds of Egyptian Facebook members, in private homes and at Internet cafes, have set up Gaza-related “groups.” Most expressed hatred for Israel and the United States, but each one had its own focus. “

“The battle for hearts and minds: Within Hamas’s effort to perpetuate a victory myth in Operation Cast Lead, its spokesmen release false descriptions about events of the fighting and their false successes. The difficulty for Hamas lies in the discrepancy between the (false) rhetoric and the situation on the ground.”

Jimmy Carter: Israel will face a “catastrophe” unless it revives peace process

Carter’s wording was not new. His 2006 book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” provoked a hail of criticism, particularly from Jewish-Americans who felt it unfairly compared Israeli treatment of Arabs in the West Bank and Gaza to the legalized racial oppression that once existed in South Africa.
