From commenter Olah Chadasha, of the Greetings from the French Hill weblog:
I am doing up to the minute live blogging of what’s going on here, in Israel. The international media has done a pathetically poor job of reporting what’s really happening in Israel, instead of focusing on the attacks in Lebanon. Not even Fox News has done very well in reporting that over 700 Katyusha rockets and mortars have fallen within the northern half of Israel, resulting in the injuries of at least 500 people, not including the deaths at least 5 people. Two of which were killed last night; a grand-mother and her grand-son were killed, as the family was bringing in the Sabbath in their home in Meiron. The grand-parents’ grand-children and their parents came to their home in Meiron attempting to get away from the continuous falling rockets in their home of Nahariya.
More than 50 cities, towns, settlements, and villages have been hit, including Tiberias and Haifa, and numerous Druze and Arab villages. These are reports that have not been seen in the international media. It’s all about what’s happening in Lebanon. My family’s settlement has now been officially chategorized as being in the “line of fire”. Houses have been destroyed, tourism has been ruined, lives have been decimated, but I guess this isn’t sexy enough news for those not on this side of the border. Oh yeah, after all, it’s only Jews dying. Nothing serious. So, if you want to see what’s really happening here, check out my site. Also, please keep the numbers 700 and 500 in mind, the next time you hear or read a reporter or foreign official or politician screaming that Israel is using “disproportionate force”.
I'm travelling; posting will resume later this week.
