05-03-06 - Where Rockets Exit, Shells Enter and Houses Are Ruined Notice how, in a very obvious act of bias, the NYT breaks down the Israeli death toll into civilians vs military deaths, but does not do the same for the Palestinian death toll which is much higher.

05-03-06 - Israel Marks Independence Day with $1.7 Billion Budget Surplus Is it due to the fact that Israel is withholding millions of dollars in customs levies that it collects on behalf of the Palestinians, perhaps?
