Like Spring means sunshine, finals week means link dumps. The big news is that Israel killed three armed out of uniform Palestinian militia members (what we used to call "Hamas terrorists" before Hamas, you know, got elected) and wounded a fourth. Meryl has the media bias angle and Israellycool has a particularly unfortunate turn of phrase by Hamas officials. By all means, enjoy yourselves.

As for background on why these three particular gentlemen needed to die (the proximate cause was their attempted invasion of Israeli territory), Smooth Stone has some background on Hamas's recent declarations. Also see JihadWatch about the World Union for Progressive Judaism's letter to the UN. In it, they ask the UN to please get the Palestinian Authority - an organization that exists solely on account of the largess of the international community - to stop with the whole "advocating genocide" thing.
