I don’t know about you, but I am pretty numb to reports of Palestinian or Israeli attacks. Every other day, I hear news reports about a (Palestinian/Israeli) (suicide attack/missle) exploding in (West Bank/Tel Aviv) killing X number of (Palestinians/Israelis).
Anyway, I came across this list. It certainly broke through the din of information and put the human cost more in perspective for me:

Yuval Mendelovitch, 13, from Haifa
Staff Sgt. Barry Oved, 21, from Rosh Pina
Staff Sgt. Eliahu Lacham, 22, from Haifa
Abigail Leitel, 14, from Haifa
Daniel Harush, 16, from Safed
Kmar Abu Khamed, 13, from Daliat al-Carmel
Mitel Katav, 20, from Haifa
Assaf Zur, 17, from Haifa
Tom Hershko, 16, from Haifa and his father
Mordecai Hershko, 41
Marak Takash, 54, from Haifa
Semadar Firstetter, 17, from Haifa
Tal Kirman, 17, from Haifa

I think it’s amazing that the neighborhood managed to get as much as they have in terms of concessions from the developer.
Personally, I’m FOR the development, ASSUMING it meets the conditions of the neighborhood in which it will be placed.
I don’t really care too much about Inman Park’s take on it. They had their chance, made their money and now they want to impose their will on a different neighborhood.
