FYI:

Hundreds of Egyptians have gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in Cairo to protest against the killing of four military personnel in Israeli border attacks.


Protesters urged the authorities on Friday to expel the Israeli ambassador and sever ties with Tel Aviv in response to the killings.

They also condemned Israel's ongoing military attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip.

Israel has launched massive airstrikes in Gaza and the border area with Egypt since Thursday after eight Israelis were killed in an attack on an Israeli bus near Eilat, south of Israel near the Egyptian border.

According to Israeli officials, two other vehicles were also hit nearby - one by a rocket and one by an explosive device.

The Israeli airstrikes have so far killed at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza and four in Egypt.

There are conflicting reports about how the four military personnel, including an army officer, died, but some reports suggest that they were killed after an Israeli Apache gunship fired a rocket near the Rafah border-crossing.

Reports say Egypt's army chief General Sami Anan has left the capital for Sinai to probe the killings.

Israeli and Egyptian forces have been sweeping the area looking for gunmen behind the recent deadly attacks on Israeli soldiers. The Israeli military claimed they had pursued the assailants and killed seven of them.

Tel Aviv has accused resistance groups affiliated with Hamas of organizing the attacks and has vowed a ''full force'' response against the Palestinians in Gaza.

Hamas, however, has strongly dismissed the allegations, saying the group's fighters had nothing to do with the assault and has warned against any act of aggression against the enclave.

Israel is getting bolder. They either can't or won't see that the world is watching them. No wonder the whole Middle East is so angry....

They know, trust me.
It is all part of the plan.
Times ahead are going to be very nasty indeed.
I wish we could change this, but without taking the planet back, I don't see how.

It definitely looks like Israel is trying to avert attention from the social unrest that we saw over the past couple of weeks.

The people in the streets across israel are a HUGE element in ''peace'' on this planet.
So much rests on their shoulders.
It is a very dicey situation.
If israel has no central government controlling the military, many nasty things could happen.
The neighbours could invade to finally ''push the jews into the sea'' or the military could lose the plot (if they still have it) and start attacking those same neighbours.
So, what is the solution?
In this system, I don't know.
But seeing those people out in the streets is a damn sweet sight.
More power to them and I would join them if I could.
Welcome to avalon as well.

Thanks, LS. There has always been a concentration of Israelis fighting their government. They have only recently grown larger, stronger and in my opinion this is what has led to the renewed violence and new building of settlements.

This is true, organisations like Gush Shalom have been around for a long time.
