Jumping Jayzus on a crutch! Why do I always miss the important stuff!

I shall have me a short meditation session and make an effort to guess where this crap comes from…

Uhu… got it…

“In my response to the investigation, which will be published on Friday in Haaretz newspaper, I raise these questions and more.”

Printing the answers in your column would be of more value than printing the questions.

Aw Lisa. Only I know that you are both a right-wing Zionist lick spittle, and a dangerous, seditious leftist who panders to the Arabs and endangers the security of the state. This is possible only because of your crafty Canadian ways. You don’t fool me. Not for one second.

Shall I whip up a free Lisa Goldman T-shirt on CafePress and send you the proceeds? I can do that you know…

At first glance, it is indeed ironic that both sides of the divide are united in their reaction to this present situation. However on second thought, I believe both are equally threatened by you and your work. By dismissing it as “fluff” and denigrating your motives, they hope to get it off the table as soon as possible. For the Israeli extreme right-wingers, what could threaten their political agenda more than mainstream Israelis learning that there is a human face to the “enemy.” It is harder to harbor distrust when we see people like many of us in cafes and clubs, and walking along a promenade amazingly similar to that of Tel Aviv. Of course this does not represent all Lebanese or all Beirutis and you do not make that claim. But it makes us stop for a minute and adjust our perception to take in that they are not all Hizabullah-supporting, assassinating, kidnapping, Jew haters. For extremists on the other side, seeing the face of Israel not as a soldier at a checkpoint, a rightwing settler or a threatening politician, but as a beautiful, soft-spoken, intelligent woman with an attitude of humanism seems to be equally threatening.

It is my understanding that reporters from ‘enemy’ countries do also report from within Israel.
Now, how can there be a restriction on Israeli reporters reporting from the countries these reporters here are from?
Isn’t that a bit of a double standard?
