The news today reports that all citizens of Isreal are rallying behind the government because the state of Isreal is being attacked. And there have been a few reports of guns being used against the heavily armed Isreali army. How much of this reportage comes from the CIA and how much from independent news sources? I wish we had someone from Isreal on this list now... an independent voice that is. It's interesting to note also that some of the places being attacked are in Palestian territory.. surrounded in fact. Right wing Isrealis are also building enclaves in these areas.
