IN A parliamentary address yesterday on the riots in England this week, British Prime Minister David Cameron made a statement that caught a lot of people’s attention on Twitter: “When people are using social media for violence we need to stop them.”

Israeli helicopters attacked a suspected Hamas weapons workshop in Gaza City early today and Prime Minister Ariel Sharon called off a summit with his Palestinian counterpart – a first response to a double suicide bombing that killed 10 Israelis in a heavily guarded Israeli seaport.

Two Palestinian suicide bombers infiltrated a closely-guarded port, killing 11 Israelis in the first deadly attack on a strategic installation in more than three years of Middle East fighting.
