Riad, a friend in California, sent me this: "Fox news has found a new way to counteract the effect of all those pictures of dead and dismembered children. They were showing scenes of destruction on both sides (their usual "fair and balanced" reporting-I don't know why I watch Fox news every now and then, it always makes me so angry, now I now know how a fly feels when attracted to shit). They showed the usual scenes of demolished buildings in Lebanon (no dead bodies) and then switched to scenes from Haifa. At first it looked like a shot of charred and mutilated bodies, but as the camera got closer, there it was. Burnt and torn vegetables and fruits. Lettuce, potatoes, carrots, melons, you name it. A Hezbollah rocket had hit a fruit stand in Haifa. Needless to say, I cried myself to sleep that night, grieved by the death of more than 300 vegetables. Contrary to what our math teachers said about adding apples and oranges, we should add apples, oranges, lettuce and carrots to the death toll, which makes it (so far): Lebanon: 330, Israel: 329. One more watermelon and the war would have been really fair and balanced!!!"
