Gaza's True "Disproportion" -Carlos Alberto Montaner
Israelis are being accused of suffering too few casualties in their confrontation with the Hamas terrorists. Until this conflict began, history books everywhere always expressed great satisfaction and a certain pride when a nation's army inflicted on the enemy a large number of casualties.
Israel is the only country expected to behave differently and, in fact, it does; I know of no other nation that announces where and when it will drop its bombs, thus enabling civilians to evacuate the territory.
The writeris one of the most widely-read columnists in the Spanish-language media.

A growing mutual admiration between India and Israel is showing up at levels both commonplace and lofty.

Hamas Prefers War as an Alternative to Progress -Sami Alrabaa
According to a clandestine survey by Bielefeld University (in Germany) conducted in Syria and Egypt, over 70% of the population in these countries want peace with Israel.
They are "sick and tired," as many put it, of the belligerent discourse of the Islamists and the biased and instigatory propaganda of their national media, though they don't dare say that openly.
In view of the fact that Kuwait and Lebanon allow relatively higher freedom of speech, columnists like Ahemd Al Sarraf, Ali Al Baghli, Hasssan El Essa, Fouad Al Hashem, and Khaleel Haidar in these countries have blasted Hamas and the Islamists for the calamity in Gaza.
