I would be remiss not to offer this up to debate. The current Israel-Lebanon crisis: what are your thoughts on this? Is Israel's violent response justified by Hezbollah's actions? Are they nipping a problem in the bud before it gets more out-of-hand? Are they overreacting out of fear and fustration? Are they playing into the hands of Iran? How does this affect the Bush administration's policies? (6) #

A photo series of Israeli female soldiers completing their mandatory two-year military service. Kind of frightening. Kind of hot. (via kottke) (44) #

Apple has posted the trailer to Munich, Steven Spielberg's new film about the hunting down of the 11 Palestinians suspected of kidnapping and murdering 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. This looks like it could be the best Spielberg film in a long, long while. What's especially interesting is that the plot can easily make room for some anti-Israeli sentiments, a controversial step for the director of Schindler's List. (11) #
