Some videos that are worth watching:

From the blogosphere:

Aussie Dave and The Muqata continue live-blogging the war. The IDF Blog has a map that outlines how an entire neighborhood was rigged for war.

Doug Ross, It is the Zionist’s Fault.

Harry’s Place: “Hey! Ho! Israel Has Gotta Go” and Israeli Arabs and Jews rally for coexistence.

Gateway Pundit shared PRO-GAZA PROTESTERS RIOT IN LONDON… Police Attacked.

Omri offered European Muslims Doing Their Best To Cleanse France Of Jews.

Comments From Left field has Context Matters. I know, not fair to say that reading it is like a trip to the Twilight Zone.

My blog features Dueling Protests in Los Angeles. Or read LA Hamas Supporters Scream: “Long Live Hitler- Put Jews In the Ovens.”

Solomonia has What the Fight’s About and The BS War.

Don’t forget to check out Martin Kramer: Richard N. Haass and Hamas, Rachel Marsden: The Biggest Lies About the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and Stephanie Gutmann: Israel in the Balance, Finally, some good news on the portrayal of Israel in the media.

American Powerblog has Newshoggers and the Neo-Totalitarian Left. Bookworm blogged A Swiftian view of the death of Palestinian children.

From No Quarter we have Liberal Anti-Semitism.

This marks the end of the round up.

Here is some very disturbing footage from two dueling rallies in Los Angeles. At around 4:38 in the video several of the Pro-Hamas protesters chant things like “Long Live Hitler” and “Jews in Ovens.” It is not unlike what happened at a number of other rallies around the country and the world.

We had two correspondents this rally that verify that the men highlighted in the video were not alone in these disgusting chants. You can disagree with the war. You can list all of the reasons and allege that there is a humanitarian crisis because of the war. But if in the process you gleefully cite the Holocaust and suggest that it was a good thing you lose all credibility.

Nice job scumbags. I hope that you’re proud of yourself.

And we are back with another round up of news and information about the War in Gaza.

And now on to the blogosphere.

Israellycool and The Muqata are still liveblogging the war. Two comments about the men behind these blogs. Aussie Dave is a very fine fellow, but he has this misconception that Aussie Football is somehow superior to American.

Jameel is another fine fellow. Little known fact outside of the Jewish/Israeli blogosphere, he makes the most incredible waffles. In fact he has plans to start his own line of Israeli Waffle Houses. More on this later.

The IDF blog continues to provide critical information and video footage. Here is a link to a blog post about IEDs.

The video below shows a surgical strike in which various terror targets are struck.

I also suggest that you read the following post Humanitarian Coordination Center and Daily Summary, 7 Jan 2009 20:25 IST.

An excellent post about the lies and misinformation about the UN school can be found at A Soldier’s Mother in her post The Images they Show…

Let’s put the White Phosphorus discussion to bed. Here is a debate about photos and their authenticity.

Take a look at The World Supports Hamas? Of Course, They Do!

More on this from the Syria News Wire The one state solution. It is skewed and I’d ask that people consider that when reading it. But as I said it is important to see what the other side says, even when they are spinning a tale.

Shiloh Musings shared Traveling the Red Zone (Nitzan). Freedom’s Cost Down, but Not Out!, Kuwaiti Editor Identifies the Real Murderers in Gaza and Enough’s Enough!
