The indispensible Michael Totten is blogging from Northern Israel and has some great stuff to read. And while you are at it, consider dropping a dime in his tip-jar to support his first class reportage.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Totten is a class act and it is a great pity the likes of him no longer work for major media organisations. I wish we could clone him and send one of him to all the world’s hot spots to get some top flight on-the-ground blogging rather than the turgid prose and outright lies we get from the established media.
His coverage from Lebanon during the (now poignant) “Cedar Revolution” was simply outstanding and more recently the image he showed of Lebanese Christians(Link) attacking a car because it was displaying a Hizbollah symbol suggested to me that the regular media is simply not telling us the whole story.
Yes, Totten deserves to be supported.
