hmm...with a name like 'electronic intefada'..it's going to be impartial..;)

it's just something the Egyptians did to 'prove' to the Israelis that they're 'managing' the problem.

wheels within wheels.

What has always happened. Only if a few places and during a very limited historical period has the right to protest and expression been recognized. Most of the people in the world do not enjoy that right and prior to about 200 years ago nobody did.
