Yes and it's obvious from your sources in this and other posts what side you purchase yours from, I mean and IDF Spokesperson Blog, FoxNews, and now another blog, and they even type like you and use "peace activists", I mean really.

As I have said before, I read it all, and make my decisions based on my own perceptions of history and the stories of both sides, mixed in with what I consider to be common sense and from that, I still will never say I am 100% right, but I am still 100% hungry for understanding....

Well this is kind of false, you had your mind made up from your first post in this thread, and have just been trying to find sources that make it so, I mean come on Idyllic, your first post you implied there were terrorist connections and have just spent what is it 7 pages now looking for sources to make it so, so I mean to say you read it all and base your decisions on both sides is well to put it nicely false.
I mean here's a post of yours from page 1, and you've just been looking for sources to make it so for the rest of the thread, say you have an open mind all you like, but your posts say otherwise.

Do we no longer talk of the 500+ citizens and innocents killed in the past few months by terrorist (hamas, al-qaeda, hezbollah, et.al.) suicide bombers, bull shit. These were no activists, they were hate filled animals.

Edit: A fun article about Charles Johnson the 'Righteous Gentile' of Israel and founder of 'Little green footballs':
Quote:
If the title of Righteous Gentile is ever bestowed upon friends of Israel in this war, Charles Johnson will deserve a place on the list of candidates for the honor. If anyone ever compiles a list of Internet sites that contribute to Israel’s public relations effort, Johnson's site will probably come in first, far above the Israeli Foreign Ministry's site.
Johnson isn't Jewish. He's an American, born in New York, who grew up in Hawaii and currently lives in Los Angeles. He was raised Catholic, considers himself an agnostic, and is not one of the Zionist Christians, whose support for Israel is based on messianic faith. He is an educated American, brilliant and multi-talented, who comes from a liberal artistic background, and yet struggles for us in a way that commands respect and warms the heart. The man is simply very much on our side, because of the war, because we are here, because of who he is and because of who we are.
Influence through the Internet
Johnson has a long, varied and successful career behind him. For many years he was a professional guitarist who accompanied well-known jazz artists both onstage and in recordings. In addition, in the 1980's he acquired a reputation as a groundbreaking computer programmer and was one of the first programmers to write for Atari computers. Today, he and his brother Michael have a successful web design studio. He is a very busy man who somehow manages to radiate calm, and to find time for his hobby, the sport of cycling. But since the fall of the Twin Towers in New York, most of his time is devoted to another matter altogether.
At the beginning of 2001 Charles Johnson opened his own "blog" – short for "weblog" – which refers, in Internet lingo, to a sort of personal column or online diary where one posts links and commentary on the news, on one’s field of professional expertise or hobbies, about oneself… or about whatever one wishes. The charm of the blog as a medium, is that it allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to be a news commentator, a comedian, a pundit, a philosopher – or a combination thereof. There is no serious financial outlay, there are no editors standing over your head, and there is no censorship.
There are many blogs in cyberspace, but few of them manage to attract a large, regular audience. Johnson's blog, with the strange name of "Little Green Footballs" – LGF for short (www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog) – is rated sixth in the listing of popular blogs in the world. His site is currently accessed by anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 visitors per day. The number of site visitors grows monthly and on the list of regular readers are some well-known intellectuals and top American journalists – mainly right-wing conservatives – who sometimes also contribute comments.
All of this happened in the past two years. At its inception, LGF focused on programming and web page design, with occasional links to amusing news items. But the events of September 11, 2001, changed everything, and Johnson’s blog became a warblog.
Johnson links news items about events in Iraq, in Israel, and in the rest of the world and adds commentary generously spiced with humor, charisma and creativity. In the course of time, he has generated a following of people who are influenced and inspired by him. In a world searching for leaders, Johnson is a kind of leader.
The ‘Wonders’ of Palestinian ‘Culture’
The leftist/anti-Israel bloggers hate Johnson and view him as a dangerous rival. Some of them have posted a doctored photo of him with a Hitler moustache, and compare LGF readers' comments with Nazi propaganda. Johnson, for his part, has compiled an online slide show composed of hundreds of photos of Palestinian children wearing bomb belts, brandishing weapons or marching aside armed men, all under the caption of "Palestinian Child Abuse." Looking at the photos in succession, one can’t help feeling that Palestinian culture is terminally sick and depraved.
