Norman Geras on how the events in Gaza are reported on. My only quibble with him is that although he presents things as they are - Israel is wrongly singled out for criticism - if he has thoughts as to why this might be so, he doesn't tell us.
Well, actually, I have a second quibble. He seems to think that the Israeli government should be more strenuous in seeking peace; this is true in a vague sort of way, but not relevant because the lack of peace isn't the result of Israeli moves one way or the other. There is no peace because a majority of the Palestinians doesn't want peace at any price Israel can offer.
