If ... you must 3/8/06

If you haven't read Ocean Guy's Ottoman and British Palestine; you must.
I thought I was reading Elder of Ziyon. (That's a compliment.)

If you haven't read the real Elder of Ziyon's The Most Moral Army in History; you must.
The doctrine for this is spelled out by Gen Amos Yadlin. For anecdotal evidence, in Good Fight Martin Peretz recalls a Scott Anderson article from the NY Times Magazine especially

In one, the commandos take over a Palestinian house in which they suspect a certain terrorist is hiding. They rouse the father and instruct him to bring everyone outside, and he returns with eight or nine individuals, mostly children. The terrorist is not among them. "`You understand that if we find anyone else inside we're going to shoot them,' [Yaron] Ishai, the deputy commander, explains. The man nods, `Everyone is out.'" But it turns out that not everyone is out. Searching the house, "Ishai suddenly spots a figure moving in the dark ... but then hesitates for a fraction of a second. It is long enough for him to realize that the figure is not a gunman, but a young child," an eight- or nine-year-old boy.

Everyone agrees that if any other army had been conducting the search, the boy would be dead.

If you haven't read AbbaGav's Hamas memos especially on the matter of trust; you must.
He's come accross secret memos documenting the results of that $180,000 Hamas paid to Nashat Aqtash

If you haven't read Daled Amos on the reason those memos are so effective; you must.

If you haven't read Crossing the Rubicon's exhaustive list of Jewish conspiracies; you must.

If haven't read Israel Perspectives' view of the advantages - and shortcomings - of democracy in Israel; you must.

If you haven't read what Shiloh Musings admits; you must.

If you haven't read Israel Matzav on Hamas for children; you must.

If you haven't read You are not going to believe this at My Right Word; you must.
(And you won't believe it.)

If you haven't read Boker Tov Boulder's Prince Philip on his family link to the Nazis; you must.
(And Prince Phillip certainly wouldn't believe the previous item!)

If you haven't read Orthodox Apprentice; you must.

If you haven't read why Jack's Shack still wants to be an astronaut; you must.

If you haven't read the latest episode of Psycho Toddler:SUV; you must.

If you haven't read that Elie's Expositions refuses to say "Uncle"; you must.

If you haven't been reading the Purim spoofs at the Muqata; you must.

And finally if you haven't read that Penny Stock loves her husband despite .... that; you must.
