...Gaza militants have fired homemade rockets at Israeli towns, usually missing but causing some injuries and great misery." Women and children have been injured or killed by the shelling. To call that "great misery" is a bit understated. As an Israeli living in the San Francisco Bay Area, I wonder how the San Jose police department would react if people in its southern neighborhoods fired missiles at its northern ones. Obviously the Gaza situation is different, but if the Palestinian authorities wish to have full control of their territories, they should act responsibly, the same as any modern country would...
...acts--including Bono, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and the Dixie Chicks--tinkered with their schedules and submitted to Bennett's requirements. (A love for Bennett's voice was a driving factor, though the success of Ray Charles' multiplatinum, Grammy-winning Genius Loves Company was a compelling model of the benefits of synergy.) But singing ą deux can be a tricky business. "Duets are blind dates," says Bennett.

It is a project that she has led for a year, and that could help form an agenda for her own bid for the White House - if, that is, she decides...
...actually utter the word Israel. No one says Israeli. Israel features frequently in political conversations, but only via euphemisms or circumlocutions. Now, though, with Israeli tanks massing at the Lebanese border and Israeli warplanes continuing their strikes throughout the country, there is no way to avoid these words. I wonder what consequences, if any, this change will bring - whether Syrians' ability to name the enemy will make Israel and its people more real and easier to relate to. Much of anti-Israeli sentiment that I have heard in Syria before has been rhetorical, operating at the most general level with...
