Gaza: Human shields & the 'cycle of violence'

(AFP/Saif Dahlah)

Omri over at Mererhetoric has a good take, IMHO, on ongoing events in the Gaza Strip between the IDF and Palestinians, especially a blow-by-blow account covering the cynical use of female human shields to allow gunman holing up in a mosque to escape capture.

Thoroughly Fisking Reuters, he eviscerates their coverage of the incident. Long, but worth a close reading, to get a clearer picture.
