Read this Pakistan newspapers editorial, “Time to change tack“, for some insight in the local situation.
and middleeastwire.com on the Israel-Palestinian situation:
“With regard to Israel, perhaps the only ones to gain from this tragedy, they are now seizing Palestinian cities and sending in bulldozers. Many Palestinians have been shot, and Israeli Knesset members have urged Ariel Sharon to go forward. “The world will understand,” said Zvi Hendel, one of the advocates. And as one Israeli military official noted today, “we are operating in the Jenin area and nobody’s complaining.” When asked by the New York Times as to what the latest tragedy means for relations between the United States and Israel, Former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gloated that, “It’s very good..” Then he edited himself: “Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.”

When I began crying I thought, “Bury the dead. Bury the dead and tell each one of their mundane American stories, all with the same ending, and make everyone read all 10,000 or 30,000 or whatever, and see if that makes people thirst for more blood, when it’s all told out, when they’ve heard the stories of all the dead, and when they understand that America will go and put the ending on tens of thousands of other stories, in Afghanistan or wherever we decide, then ask if they want that to happen, or if they want to figure out some way around it.”
