Nancy Stohlman a US "peace activist" appeared today on The News with Brian Williams. I was amazed when she stated that no Palestinian she ever met expressed support for suicide bombings. She also stated that there was no actual fighting in Jenin, if so how were over two dozen Israeli soldiers killed in the town?

Given that her reports for April 8 is from Bethlehem and April 9 and 10 from Jerusalem how does she know anything about what happened in Jenin anyhow?

Nancy, a hint: When they are asking about how many people were killed in a suicide bombing they want to know how "successful" it was.

Looks like a decision on the KDE vs. GNOME has been made for me. If Miguel de Icaza says he "finally understand what has been going on" in Israel based on an article in ZMag then cannot be trusted to be responsible for designing software that I install on my computer.

The links to Robert Fisk and Electronic Intifada are not too inspiring either.
