Better, sort of

On the same day as my last post, the Times does indeed have some good op-eds.

What You Don't Know About Gaza by Rashid Khalidi provides some facts and a perspective from the Palestinian side.

Fighting to Preserve a Myth by Gideon Lichfield strongly questions Israel's militaristic strategy and calls for more a politically-minded approach.

So it's not all bad, but I don't think balanced reporting. Or should one call it proportionately accurate reporting and editorializing?

Finally, some letters on Friday regarding Israel and Gaza. A day or two late. Titling them as "Finger Pointing Over Israel and Gaza" seems like a trivial way of describing the debate. The debate and the violence are hardly trivial.
