The first cracks in Israeli support for the war in Lebanon emerged Thursday, with leading intellectuals and mainstream politicians criticizing the government’s decision to send more soldiers into Hezbollah territory.
Public sentiment mostly has called for more aggressive action, not less - a likely factor in the government’s decision to escalate military operations.
But doubts have been growing about whether Hezbollah can be destroyed, as Israel set out to do a month ago.
“We are getting lost in pursuit of a victory that is not there,” wrote mainstream columnist Nahum Barnea in the Yediot Aharonot daily.
“There is no point investing in a lost cause,” Barnea wrote, urging Olmert to “take what they’re offering you … and run.”
The morning after Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman lost his party’s primary and vowed to stay in the race as an independent, Republican Mayor Michael Bloomberg said partisan politics have “hamstrung Washington” and vowed to back Lieberman until the end.

If you’ve tossed around the idea of modding your DS, but never bit the bullet due to the ridiculous amount of loopholes you had to jump through to get your homebrew game on, DS-Xtreme has got you covered. While the precise details of how this thing works its magic are a bit scarce, we do know that the company claims this wonder-working cart will allow you to not only run your favorite homebrew applications on your DS without any software / hardware hacks or workarounds whatsoever, but it also rocks a built-in GUI that interfaces with Windows XP via USB 2.0 for some remarkably easy drag ‘n drop action. All this sounds mighty impressive, especially compared to the PassMe alternative that required a old fashion GBA flash card, linker, and a DS game just to get you up and running; the DS-shaped cartridge features 512MB (4Gb) of built-in storage space, USB 2.0 connectivity, a full sized onboard EEprom “complete with some serious custom engineering,” and a snazzy GUI that apparently makes managing your apps a breeze. If you’ve been fantisizing over an easier way to get homebrew material on your Nintendo DS or DS Lite, the DS-X flash cart appears to a dream come true, but considering there’s no specific release date nor price, we’re forced to play the “wait and see” game on this one.

Since E3 decided to call it quits as the besoke conference and reorg into something a little more intimate, a number of alternatives are starting to crop up in its place. The most promising prospect, however, comes from the CEA — harbingers of the one true doombringer event, CES, and outspoken consumer advocates — who have formed a committee to explore a CES-like event for games to take the place of E3. CE3, if you will. Of course, this does not mean they’re committing to any such thing, but when your last event was attended by some 162,000 or so industry professionals and members of the media, let’s just say that if they did decide to do a CE3 they’d have a helluva mailing list to work with.
