Gaza, Gazza

Given the awful events as Hamas fires rockets as Israeli towns and Israelis shoot the hell out of towns in the Gaza strip I can't help but think it was perhaps not the best time for a TV channel to air a programme called 'Surviving Gazza'. Of course, it was about the troubled former England football player Paul 'Gazza' Gascoine and not the plight of Palestinian refugees squeezed into a small sliver of land, but even so the timing was rather unfortunate.

Postcards From Palestine

I came across Moomin's Live Journal "Postcards From Palestine" earlier this week and posted it on the FPI blog since the cartoons were relevant to it, but I had to post a link to it here too; her posts on life in the Occupied Territories are well worth reading. And I thought this cartoon, called The Ever Elusive Diplomatic Horizon did what a good cartoon does best, summed up a complex situation in a few ink lines better than a page of newspaper reportage.
