On Gaza ...

More heartbreak. I'm sure you're already aware that it's very hard - especially for us in the US - to get unfiltered, unbiased, and even-handed reporting on Israel and Palestine. Having been to the region, having had in-depth dialogue with people there, and having done a lot of background reading, I can recommend these sources for background information and news in the region. I trust them to be fair, honest, and even-handed:

The Kairos Project
Sabeel
Just Peace for Palestine

Compare the tone of these three headlines from yesterday - and notice who's under attack:

From CNN ...
From Huffington Post ...
From Fox News ...
