The Israeli defence ministry has barred foreign journalists from
entering the Gaza Strip in an apparent attempt to limit reporting on
the killing of Palestinian civilians, the firing of artillery shells
and the use of "sonic bombs" to terrify the local population.
Over the weekend, Israeli air force jets caused two dozen sonic booms,
many at night, which human rights groups have described as "terrifying
collective punishment".
The crossing post at Erez was closed after a suicide bomb last
Wednesday in Hadera killed five Israelis. It was reopened yesterday to
Palestinians with permits.

Hey EG, did you leave anything out in this? A few minor facts, like how the Palestinians also continue lobbing bombs at Isralis, killing innocent civilians (rather than soldiers). You reduce this to such an easy formula, anything Israeli is good, anything Palestinian is good, when in fact the problem is so much more complex. I wish the world were as clear and simple as you seem to think it is.
