Notes:
Nowhere do we get a more lucid perspective of what it's like to be a Gazan civilian than in this piece. Hasan Jaber is very introspective here, but an excellent raconteur. A first-person story, this lacks the context of a news report but captures what is probably the sentiment of many Gazans.

Notes:
A Palestinian journalist recounts the opening Israeli attack in Gaza and his reaction to it. The writer's dismay comes through clearly.

The first piece I've read since the beginning of hostilities that truly humanizes Palestinians. Of course, it's a first-person narrative -- but this says as much as many of the news reports I've read.

This is a tiny piece of a much larger mosaic. The author and his family are the sort of Palestinians it is in Israel's own best interest to keep in Gaza. Israel's murderous attack serves the interests of the warmongers only, and it will not enable Israel to retain the illegal settlements in the West Bank and the Golan Heights.
