Die Shoah fällt aus
The Catalunya government has called off the ceremony marking the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which was scheduled to take place on January 27, citing the Israeli offensive in Gaza as the reason. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/1,7340,L-3660349,00.html

No Money for Gaza
The BBC has defended a decision not to air a TV fund-raising appeal for Gaza, saying it wanted to avoid compromising public confidence in its impartiality. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7846150.stm

Friendly Fire
Yasser Abd Rabbo, an ally of the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, said at a news conference in Ramallah on Thursday that Hamas had “turned its rifles in the direction of Fatah members” after Israel stopped its military offensive on Sunday. Mr. Rabbo accused Hamas of placing Fatah supporters under house arrest and shooting some of them in the legs, an intimidation tactic that it used in the past. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/23/world/middleeast/23revenge.html?emc=eta1

Hamas goes Underground
Hamas has seized control of all the smuggling tunnels under the Philadelphi Corridor in southern Gaza and has been moving additional arms into the Strip since Operation Cast Lead ended on Sunday morning. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1232643727069&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Fatah blames Israel
Israel made a “big mistake” by ending Operation Cast Lead without overthrowing the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip, a Palestinian Authority official in Ramallah said on Thursday. His remarks came as the PA security forces intensified their crackdown on Hamas in the West Bank. “It was a big mistake to end the war this way, official the fact that Hamas is still in power is bad for all.” http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1232643727590&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

What happened to us?
How did we turn from a “villa in the jungle,” as Ehud Barak once characterized Israel, to just another animal in the jungle? How did it come to be that we informed the world that “we’ve gone mad,” and then were surprised to be treated as madmen? How did Israel shift from being the spiritual center of Ehad Ha’am and Ben Gurion’s light unto the nations to the “neighborhood bully?” How did it all happen without us noticing it? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3659699,00.html
