    MISAAC

    Those "longer range Iranian missiles" don't seem to be hitting much of anything. I'm sure, however, that living under their threat is no joke. But, personally, if I had to choose I would prefer living under their threat than endure what the Gazans have had to. And, by the way, how did they get the Iranian missiles into Gaza through closed borders?

    Finaly, for the Israeli government to say that they are only banning foreign reporters in Gaza because they don't want to deal with "distortions" is facile at best and very convienent too. The press can get any number of things wrong, but if there are enough reporters from different outlets with different politics and slants, then distortions can be unmasked and set straight. So, it makes me wonder if it is the truth that the Israeli government really doesn't want to have to deal with.
