This last article very interesting. There is a whole section of the Israeli population who feel disenfranchised by their political class, and who want peace with the Palestinians.

And finally a short video by 'Breaking the Silence'. Uncomfortable watching, and reminiscent of some of the awful Abu Graib photos. Why aren't we ALL out on the streets protesting that this sort of inhumane treatment of our fellow humans stops?
