NGO Monitor: Advancing 'leftist' agenda, online mag +972 serves to strengthen Israel haters
For one Israeli, however, the news could not have been better. Noa Shaindlinger, who frequently appears in +972 magazine, wrote on her Facebook page, "We may have some good news later this morning (hint: IOF accident with casualties)." When a fellow activist criticized her joy over the pilots' deaths, Shaindlinger shot back, "I will worry about nonsense like my 'humanity' afterwards, when the struggle will end successfully. Till then, I will be happy when my enemies fall." Shaindlinger's "enemies" are Israeli soldiers.
Riding the tiger
If Europe's leaders gambled that appeasement would buy them a measure of protection from the wrath of Hezbollah they may have tragically miscalculated

But if they gambled that weakness would buy them friends and that appeasement would buy them a measure of protection from the wrath of Hezbollah they may have tragically miscalculated. For when European weakness confronts rampant Islamism, the consequence is likely to be bloody and painful.
Riding the tiger was the easy part; trying to dismount will be a far more perilous business.
