I'm noticing some interesting changes in the outcome of a few stories.. Could these be winds of change? Hope we can believe in? People are not accepting wrong laying down. In one story in Israel near the settlements, some Arab guys were harrassing an 8 year old Jewish boy. When the boy's family and friends saw this, they chased the guys who ran and hid inside a school. The school refused to let the anyone come and get the guys.  The police come, I think even the bomb squad comes, but typical of the government these days, they do nothing.  But this time -here is the change- the people protest enough that the police try harder and actually gets the school to release the guys.

In another story, an old lady -68 years old- is constantly harrassed by a bunch of neighborhood thugs. What could have ended in possible rape, injury, damage, or even death for the old lady, ended with her shooting the thug in the arm. The 12 year old thug was rushed to the hospital and the media brought the lady's plight to light.

Many people in America are fighting the GZM (park 51) and are also fighting the monument that being constructed in the Pennsylvania location of the other plane crash (flight 93). These are regular people!

Its nothing short of an awakening. I'm not surprised that the media is not covering these stories. These are the stories that the digital camera and the cell phones and the bloggers and the like will broadcast.  Okay, these were a few examples only. If only there was a website that gathered these fights together so I can read about them.

In other news, Iranian computers have been attacked by Queen Esther?  There is a virus effecting many official's PCs in Iran and it bears a code myrtus (myrtle) which in Hebrew is Hadassah. Hadassah is the birth name of Esther in the Purim story. So far, though, no one has taken responsibility for this stuxnet worm. Some countries are making guesses.....


A pro Palestinian journalist writing for Hudson New York Online magazine Khaled Abu Toameh, makes this understatement:

"Western correspondents and newspapers continue to apply double standards when it comes to covering the Israeli-Arab conflict."
