Put together a selection of links on the Gaza conflict..

Took up my friend Tragic_Comedy's suggestion to aggregate the links together in a blog post.. I have been busy staying up since Christmas in the twitterland following and collecting interesting posts and links, in the interest to provide something that the mainstream media misses or chooses not to report on..

A blog by a palestinian woman, simple and effective, just photos, to illustrate the difference between bombs and rockets..

While you are in research mode, you could understand the Palestinians frustration with the following two articles (difficult to unearth due to mainstream media bias towards the zionists:-( )
http://hippasus.wordpress.com/2009/01/03/gaza-surviving-inside-the-tiny-box/ - difficult to imagine what growing up in this tiny space would do to us and our children..
http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=10682 - A simple primer for Americans / Singaporeans, may I add, on the Palestinians..

Lastly you might appreciate these as well, two well written piece by people have lived in or visited Gaza and a final piece from Judith Stone, a Jew who felt it was right for her to support the cause of Palestinians..
http://palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=14596 - Short piece, of life in the line of fire, written by a Palestinian Psychiatrist
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article5420584.ece - Article to urge us to change our stereotype of Hamas, at London Times
http://www.indcatholicnews.com/speech.html - Quest for Justice, written by Judith Stone.

I have noticed that the Church has stayed silent on the atrocities or generally stand on the side of Israel.. the last time during the rise of Hitler the church remained quiet for far too long..

Rather ironically the most relevant message of these times that I have heard recently come not from any pastors, but quite a unlikely source, a Christmas message given by the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Christmas night over the British public TV channel, read it, it's uplifting.. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5394734.ece

That is like the gist of what have kept me busy since Christmas :-) Happy reading.. World Peace!
