Published March 07, 2009 @ 02:00PM PT

Yoni Goodman is the director of animation for the Academy Award-nominated film, Waltz with Bashir. His latest project is a short animation on the closure of Gaza together with Israeli human rights group Gisha. It's quite good.

Found this beautiful and stirring video on youtube today with a young Palestinian girl singing "I Only Wish'.

Another fairy tale, its like showing someone throwing up without showing that person drinking a bottle of whisky beforehand. What about the cause of this effect, very misleading video. What does it tell the viewer, that someone is blocked without the why, makes no sense.

As always, Michael, you seem to miss the forest for the trees. Most people who throw up did not drink "a bottle of whisky beforehand".

People get food poisoning, bacterial or other infectious illnesses, reactions to environmental contaminants, reactions to prescription or over-the-counter medications, -- a veritable plethora of reasons for vomiting....

In conclusion, there are many other reasons that humans might vomit, none of them having to do with excessive imbibement, which appears to be the reason for your written hurls here and elsewhere......

The forest is coming to light:

Iran and Syria have until next week to explain to a United Nations sanctions committee how they were involved with a ship detained off Cyprus in January found to be loaded with explosives believed to be bound for Gaza.
