Informed Comment is on hiatus until after New Year's Day. Enjoy the holidays!

In the meantime, enjoy the following sites (the underlined parts are clickable):

http://www.jerusalem.indymedia.org/ (Palestine Independent Media Center);

http://www.indymedia.org.il/imc/israel/webcast/index.php3?language=en (Israel Independent Media Center)

and

http://www.iraqjournal.org/ Iraq Journal (Alternative views on the Iraq issue).

Informed Comment does not necessarily endorse any particular report at any of these sites, but thinks alternative, peace-oriented views on these subjects should get a hearing, at least. And it is that sort of season around here.
