From a reporter friend outside Gaza...

saw the blog. how about a shout out to the print people who have killed this story, with the essential help of our friends stuck inside. my gaza fixer is a 23 year old girl in a hijab, with a new born and she's running and gunning like a special operator. and half the time for naught or too late because she can't get comms to file to me. yet she still wakes up everyday to try. i'm naming my first kid after her. hope it's a girl or my boy 'ameera' will be in a lot of fights. and even if he wins them, he won't be as tough as his godmother.Done and done. And while we're at it, the blog from McClatchy's Jerusalem-based correspondent has been solid, with good links to al-Jazeera International. If any of you kids know of any good Palestinian and Israeli bloggers, pass them along and we'll link to them.
Update: One reader sends in a link to the IDF's YouTube channel. Lots of war porn here. No word yet on when the Hamas channel launches. Just remember, while watching these videos, that there are human beings on both the sending and receiving ends of these attacks.
