Several very important items in this Honest Reporting update. Read the update, and be sure to check out IDF Dave's photo log of his time at the Kaladia Checkpoint. You need to see these photos to inform your understanding of the realities of the checkpoints.
Also, Phyllis Chesler has two of Pierre Rehov's films available for viewing online. The page says the films will be available until September 12. This is an excellent opportunity and I strongly recommend watching these films. I saw The Silent Exodus reported on it here (and also here). This film is a documentary on the hundreds of thousands of Jews who fled or were expelled from Arab countries starting in the late 40's. Powerful, important and interesting on a chapter of history that needs more airing. The second film, The Road to Jenin, I've not seen, but I'm looking forward to finding the time to watch it and I've heard good things about it. It seeks to set the record straight on the "Jenin Massacre" canard.
