the truth is out there......somewhere

lead story from NY times regarding Gaza today: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/14/world/middleeast/14mideast.html?ref=world

you have to go some way down the story before any mention at all of Palestinian civilian casualties...and no mention of continued Israeli shelling during their own declared stoppages for aid....

yet you have the big photo at the top of the destroyed house, and then all the commentary is about IDF casualties and unsupported Israeli claims, it is bizarre.

also did a search for this story (from the BBC) - and no mention of it in the mainstream US press, which is odd considering it concerns Christian Aid.

>>The charity Christian Aid says a clinic for mothers and babies in Gaza, which it funds along with the EU, has been destroyed in an Israeli air strike.

The clinic, which was run by the Near East Council of Churches, was struck by a missile after a 15-minute warning was sent to the building's owners.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of medical equipment was destroyed by the strike, which happened on Saturday. <<< http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7825215.stm
