Wednesday 8th June 2011.
Spent the day sick in bed so don't really remember what the news was about.
Also, Shavuot Holiday in Israel makes the media more concerned with cheese cakes then reality.
Today (Thursday) finally some people are beginning to mention that actually, shooting unarmed protestors is wrong. Very few are brave enough to say this.
Zvi Zamir, former head of the Mossad in a rare statement "I'm concerned that soldiers, my grandchildren, are firing on unarmed men". He goes on to state the obvious - other non-lethal methods could and should have been used to prevent unlawful crossing of the border.
Gideon Levy characteristically illuminates the hypocrisy and self delusion with which Israeli media is dealing with the massacres of unarmed protestors.
In Syria - the Assad regime is butchering unarmed ideological freedom fighters, whereas the IDF is forced to defend the border from paid brutes sent by Assad to divert attention from his own domestic violence issues.
Note - I will be adding links to Israeli media, in Hebrew most often than not, for the purpose of anchoring my posts in real "Yesterday's news"
