A Tale of Two Gazas, Invaded by Israel
As told by the Age and the NYT.
I’m too tired to deconstruct these girls, but thought a side by side comparison of the first two pars would be interesting.
The Age:
Israeli forces killed 61 Palestinians in a land and air blitz in the Hamas-held Gaza Strip today, medics said, amid warnings that the violence had “buried” the peace process.
It was the deadliest day since Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza in September 2005 and one of the most lethal Israeli operations since the Palestinian uprising erupted in 2000.
The NYT:

The Israeli attacks, mostly from the air on a clear, bright day, were aimed at stopping rocket fire from Gaza into Israel, the Israelis said, especially after Ashkelon, a large city 10 miles from Gaza, came under fire from more advanced, Katyusha-style rockets of Iranian design.
