Update Why would I post a link to that letter from Ramallah? demand correspondants. Well, because the "warbloggers" tend to get a lot more information from people on the ground in Israel than those on the ground in Ramallah or Beirut. One of the unfortunate aspects of the Israel/Palestinian conflict is that the information blogs are best at generating--informal, personal descriptions and analysis of events--are only available from people who are pretty heavily biased on one side or the other of the conflict. Palestinian activists don't vacation in Haifa, and people with strongly pro-Israel views are rarely found in Ramallah, at least without tanks and air support. Thus, the only way to get eyewitness accounts is to take them from people with a huge axe to grind.
