Gaza and Palestinians' desperation - beneath the radar?

Thanks to Paul Woodward at WiC for posting today some excellent pieces on Gaza's desperation (now detailed in a report from the Red Cross, whose lack of bias, by the way, is respected very highly - but you can count on the Netanyahu government and the Jerusalem Post to cry foul, anti-Semitism, etc.) and on the ongoing humiliation of West Bank and Jerusalem Palestinians - as experienced in even a diluted fashion by recent participants in Palfest.

The Iranian elections and impending US troop withdrawal from Iraq's cities - and, of course, Michael Jackson's demise - have sucked up most of the journalistic space and energy in the US MSM of late. The 24-hour news cycle moves on; the Palestinians are so yesterday.
