(and other links from there). Israel knows the Al Jazeera game and has to make its own videos as well – some to defend against accusations of “war crimes”. Other than Ohlmert’s idiotic boasting about the UN vote, the Israelis have been a bit smarter than in 2006 with Lebanon/Hezbollah. Still, war is an ugly business and not for the faint of heart. War is best avoided when possible – but having 7000 rockets landing on your territory makes it hard to avoid responding. And when one responds, it better be effective – and that means (unfortunately) ugly.
