Reporters Are Circling...Two..

Earlier today I predicted that the Israeli mainstream media would make an effort to find Jews who publicly expressed happiness at Sharon's medical condition, and that it would be a matter of hours before it would appear.

Well, I was half right. They must be having a hard time finding someone to film or quote, because Ynetnews.com had to make do with a lonely paragraph at the end of this article.

In it they claim that reporters (unnamed of course) received text messages (annonymous of course) that "Sharon essentially got 'what he deserved' for 'harming Israel (alluding to the disengagement). Note the editorial explanation of what "harming Israel" means.

The report has an 11:39 time stamp. Four hours almost to the minute!

I heard an interview on Radio Kol Chai this afternoon with someone from Nvei Dekalim who basically said that he could not say tefillot for sharon and that sharon had gotten what he deserved for the disengagement.

Was this a scheduled interview or a call-in?

Well, I was about to post that the westbank is relatively quiet (at least in my part of it)but my mother-in-law just called to tell me she read on the internet that a bomb exploded between our yishuv and the next one over.
