I will be at the Israel Solidarity Rally in Ottawa, Canada tomorrow. Tens of thousands of people are expected including thousands from Toronto as a large number of buses leaving from Toronto have been sold out.

The buses leave at 5am in the morning!

The Washington Post reports that the invasion of the Church of the Nativity by Palestinian gunmen seeking shelter was part of a preplanned escape route based on the belief that Israeli forces would not enter the church. Its not clear if they planned on being besieged for several weeks now.

Fisk Stupidity in the Globe and Mail

In Saturday’s newspaper the Globe and Mail, has reprinted Robert Fisk’s two page rant against Israel in which he portrays a few meetings with Americans in the Midwest American states as a sign that the United States population is shifting against Israel. This article does not appear on the Globe and Mail’s website perhaps indicating they don't wish to have web viewers see it. It does appear at its original site, The Independent, a slavishly anti-Israel British newspaper that appears to still be in denial about Israel’s independence from the British mandate in 1948. This article is discussed further in Damian Penny’s blog.
