Violence, violence!

Dennis Perrin has a good bit about the latest nonsense in Israel/Palestine, including a nice debate between Norman Finkelstein and some guy from AIPAC.

Our own government has responded about as expected. This:

Israeli forces entered the southern Gaza Strip this past week as part of efforts to free [captured Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit]. Israeli forces also detained more than 60 officials of Hamas, the Islamic militant group, which won the last Palestinian election.

prompted this:

President Bush says the key to ending the crisis in the Gaza Strip is freeing [Shalit].

This, following Israel tearing in and shutting off all power in Gaza (read: hospitals and water supply).

Virgin deaths?

Screw virgin births - how many people who live to puberty die as virgins? My guess - 0.7%. But I have no idea how to confirm this.
