Esh in Israel

I'd like to tell you this blog makes you the Robin to my Batman, along, in spirit, on a great quest against a furious, unnameable evil, but really, you're more the Larry Appleton to my Balki Bartokamous, there to laugh when I make idiotic cultural mistake after idiotic cultural mistake.

Some Headlines, Erev Shabbat

Normally I'd add my David-esque commentary, but I'm going to let you draw your own conclusions regarding bias, perspective, and intention based on the following headlines. These are all current front-page, above-the-fold main headlines from selected leading publications.

Haaretz (http://www.haaretz.com)

"Army preparing to call up thousands of reservists 10 hurt, one seriously, in Katyusha strike on Haifa"

Jerusalem Post (http://www.jpost.com)

"IDF calls up reserve division"
"At least 19 people wounded in Haifa rocket bombardment"

Al-Jazeera (http://english.aljazeera.net)

"
Hezbollah stands fast"

CNN (http://www.cnn.com)

"
Rockets rain down on Israel"

Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com)

"

BBC (http://www.bbc.com)

"Israel tightens grip on Lebanon"

New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com)

"Israel Calls Up Reserves as Air Raids Continue in Lebanon"

LA Times (http://www.latimes.com)

"Frightened Residents Flee Chaos of South Lebanon"

Finally...

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (http://www.ajc.com)

I'm off to Shira Hadasha for Friday night services, then to Livnot U'Lehibanot for dinner and a night's stay.

Shabbat Shalom, everyone.
