From Arutz Sheva:
A biological bomb that was to include AIDS infected blood was to be detonated in a Tel Aviv on the eve of the holiday. The Kalkilye Fatah cell planning the attack was apprehended before they could construct the potentially catastrophic bomb.
The Palestinians have long used rat poison (warfarin) in their bombs. Warfarin blocks [...]

From the Wall Street Journal:
Right after that meeting, I was given the KGB’s “personal file” on Arafat. He was an Egyptian bourgeois turned into a devoted Marxist by KGB foreign intelligence. The KGB had trained him at its Balashikha special-ops school east of Moscow and in the mid-1960s decided to groom him as the future [...]

First we had the amazing pictures of US Special Forces operators charging into combat on the horseback, ready to direct high tech weapons from their low tech mounts.
Now we have an Israeli helicopter defeating a donkey cart!
“Modern” warfare is weird when you are fighting barbarians!
The good news: The Hamas terrorist monster on the donkey cart [...]

At a social gathering the other night, I was shocked that most of those present saw a moral equivalence (at least) between the actions of the Palestinian suicide bombers and the Israeli government. In fact, the general atmosphere was hostile to Israel and sympathetic to the Palestinians. This among a group of otherwise intelligent people.

When Sharon ordered the newly intensified war on Hamas, he so angered their leaders that they blundered. Hamas is now on record vowing to kill every man, woman and child in Israel. This has always been their goal, but now it cannot be denied by their European fellow travelers.
Israel has thus scored a major victory. [...]

Old news for sure, but it is interesting how frequently and subtly editorializing creeps into the “straight news.”
Consider this AP story from today:
JERUSALEM — Israel has decided to target top Hamas leaders, including founder Sheik Ahmed Yassin, Israeli officials and media said Friday, confirming a policy change likely to speed up an attack-revenge cycle that [...]
