"Is There Good News in the Holy Land?"

By Mona Charen

JERUSALEM — "All of these correspondents," IDF spokeswoman Avital Leibovich notes, referring to the hundreds of reporters, photographers, and producers from world press organizations stationed in Jerusalem, "are not here to report on Tel Aviv's beaches or the wineries of Judea and Samaria. They are here to report the conflict."

True. And because conflict equals news, lack of conflict usually equals neglect. Things are far from peachy in this region — and yet, the quiet itself ought to be news."
