Wagner James Au, king of the Second Life corner of the blogosphere, covers the virtual protests and attacks that have periodically plagued SL Israel since the real Israel began its military response to the rocket barrage from Gaza. I've been "in-world" for some of this (I waste an embarrassing amount of time on SL); at one point someone was demanding that the name of the region be changed to SL Palestine.

Let that sink in for a minute: These people can't abide the existence of an imaginary Israel.

The best response to the SL protests I've seen is this post by Crap Mariner, better known to the political blogosphere as Laurence Simon.
