Capturing the MidEast in short soundbites: poignant reflections by people who understand the complexities of the Middle East. My philosophy is: "less is more." You won't agree with everything that's here, but I'm confident you will find it interesting! Excepting the titles, my own comments are minimal. Instead I rely on news sources to string together what I hope is an interesting, politically challenging, non-partisan, non-ideological narrative.

Death Toll of Israeli Civilians Killed by Palestinians Hits Six-Year Low
-Dion Nissenbaum
Palestinian militants killed 23 Israelis and foreign visitors in 2006, down from a high of 289 in 2002 and 43 deaths in 2005. Only two Palestinian suicide bombers managed to sneak into Israel for attacks that killed 11 people and wounded 30 others in 2006. The figures highlight Israel's success in insulating most of its citizens from the conflict with the Palestinians. (McClatchy)

One can only hope that the day will come when no one in the world dies from a terrorist act. Or from any other violence for that matter.
