I noticed the same, although I believe the second link actually gives a comprehensive analysis of the damage that Hezzbollah is causing the region. What we can do, I supppose, is gather some links to information about Israel's pespective(s) and politely offer them to LII. Something like www.kolisrael.com that links to many media resources coming out of Israel, in English, Hebrew, and I think Russian and Arabic as well.
As to perspectives from the Jewish community, I highly recommend Rabbi David Ellenson's piece in The Sun: www.nysun.com/article/36703 Dr. Steve Windmeuller's op ed in the Jerusalem Post: Where do US Jews stand in this crisis facing Israel? Will we see a renaissance of Jewish commitment, or an absence of supportive Jewish voices?
