France24 published an article titled Israeli aircraft strike Gaza, no injuries. Can anyone find a headline and article on any website (besides the Israeli newspapers) which descibes the rocket attack from Gaza on the factory in Southern Israel? Or is it only the Israeli attacks that make news?
Israeli aircraft struck three targets in the Gaza Strip on Thursday but nobody was hurt, Palestinian security officials said. A military spokeswoman said the air raids were in response to a rocket attack from Gaza on Wednesday in which a rocket fired from Gaza slightly damaged a factory in southern Israel but caused no casualties.

Question 2.
Yahoo news reported that accused Russian spy Metsos used a passport from a dead man's brother. As Israeli diplomats were expelled from various countries after Israeli spies were accused of using false passports, is Cyprus preparing to expel a Russian diplomat?
Red-faced authorities in Cyprus searched airports, ports and yacht marinas Thursday in a hunt for a suspected Russian spy-ring paymaster who vanished after being allowed to walk free on bail.
...Metsos' disappearance is a major embarrassment to Cyprus... Authorities have promised to do everything possible to find the suspect who claimed he was a tourist traveling on a Canadian passport.
...A man in Canada says the passport stole the identity of his dead brother.

Question 3.
Has anyone read an article By Steven Simpson in the American Thinker titled Why Islam Will Never Accept the State of Israel?
It is a common belief that the "Arab-Israeli conflict" is a conflict of two peoples fighting over the same piece of land and is therefore one of nationalism. Rarely, if ever, do we hear or read of the religious component to this conflict.
However, if anything, the conflict is more of a "Muslim-Jewish" one than an "Arab-Israeli" one. In other words, the conflict is based on religion -- Islam vs. Judaism -- cloaked in Arab nationalism vs. Zionism. The fact of the matter is that in every Arab-Israeli war, from 1948 to the present, cries of "jihad," "Allahu Akbar," and the bloodcurdling scream of "Idbah al- Yahud" (slaughter the Jews) have resonated amongst even the most secular of Arab leaders, be it Nasser in the 1950s and 1960s or the supposedly "secular" PLO of the 1960s to the present.Read full article: http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/06/why_islam_will_never_accept_th.html
