Lisa N. Goldman is a "Canadian-Israeli freelance journalist, based in Tel Aviv." She has a groovy looking blog called, On The Face. She also writes for Global Voices Online where her very thorough post of July 18th starts out:"Israel is at war and the Israeli blogosphere is on fire. There are so many posts to mention that I can hardly think where to start. Since the events of the past week turned Israelis’ reality upside down literally overnight they are trying to make sense of it all - and many are doing so online." The rest of the post is a really great list of links and summaries to Israeli blogs about the war, and I highly recommend it as a starting point for exploring non-mass media perspectives on life in Israel.
From Ha'aretz (via cursor)
"...but experience teaches us that the turnabout from patriotic criticism to rational behavior based on moral norms occurs sooner or later, sometimes within weeks or months and sometimes after a generation. It seems that in the current outbreak of violence, the change will come very quickly; its conduct, objectives and results do not encourage too much enthusiasm and it has not even been granted the title of 'war' since those who waged it are not sure if they want to commemorate it among the state's official wars or if they believe it would perhaps be better to forget it."
