Noam Chomsky has written a disturbing and lucid look at the crisis in Gaza as well as Israeli and US policies in general. I never feel good after listening to or reading anything from Chomsky, but I do feel informed. I don't know of many other people who can cull and synthesize information in such plain speak. What sources of good alternative information do you use?
"Of course all such conclusions about appropriate actions against the rich and powerful are based on a fundamental flaw: This is us, and that is them. This crucial principle, deeply embedded in Western culture, suffices to undermine even the most precise analogy and the most impeccable reasoning."
Edit:
A nice follow-up to the article might be this post from the Metta Center.
