Highest Recommendation for Extensive Media Followup

We give our highest recommendation for extensive media followup to The Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, August 11, 2006. A must read.

Particulary excellent peices are:

1) "Greenberg's View", a cartoon which perfectly captures the Hezbollah rocket launch tactics, the Hezbollah public relations campaign, the media's knee-jerk reaction adn Israel's targeting dilemma - worth much more than 1000 words.

2) "Europe Displaying Disproportionate Pacifism" by Professor Jeffrey V. Mallow, a thoughtful description of Europe's response to Hezbollah's attack on Israel. This article is derserving to be reprinted widely in the media.

3) "We Will Not Capitulate Or Be Trampled Upon" by Ben Caspit (reprinted from Ma'ariv, an Israeli newspaper). Caspit proposes the text for a speech to be given by Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Olmert that would clearly explain to the world exactly what Israel is fighting for - thorough, thoughtful, powerful. It is a great contribution to understanding the conflict.

Disproportionate Response

Isreal drops one small bomb on a building and the response is an explosion 1000 times the bomb's magnitude.
