"Mr Erdogan clashed with Shimon Peres in a discussion on the recent fighting in the Gaza Strip, telling him: 'You are killing people.' "

"The Obama administration will have to transcend America's policy of "Israeli Exceptionalism," privileging Israeli interests. A more even-handed policy would require that Israel as well as HAMAS and the Palestinians be held to the same standards to respect and comply with international law and U.N. resolutions. A more balanced and credible approach will begin to restore America's image in the Arab and Muslim worlds. Obama will also have to avoid a legacy of political engineering (a preference for putting in and or supporting our guy to elections) that predates George W. Bush but was also adopted by his administration in countries like Iraq and backfired in Palestine."

Meeting between then President-Elect Obama and Jewish leaders with any documentation of what was discussed conspicuously missing. Only a list of names are present on the page, while most other meetings on the site mention what was discussed and include some sort of documentation.

Maybe then we will finally understand something deep and fundamental — that our conduct here in this region has, for a long time, been flawed, immoral and unwise."

Gaza residents report on their experiences during and after the latest war through this online project. This is a civic movement that attempts to counter the overwhelming media bias against Palestinians in the US.

In a rare move by a primetime US news program, 60 Minutes highlights some of what everyday Palestinians put up with under the occupation. Nothing new here except that this is a program with a big following and is considered mainstream media in the US. Could this mean the War on Gaza has shifted US media's view on the Israeli-Palestinian issue? One can only hope.

"It wasn't seeing a soldier get scared and shoot into a crowd, but rather seeing a girl sitting in her house and getting shot by a stray bullet. And then, when she needed to be transferred to a Cairo hospital, the Shabak officers saying only she could cross, and no one else. A 12-year-old girl, in a vegetative state, and they wouldn't even let her mother accompany her. That is the banality of evil."
