matthew yglesias highlights the description of living conditions in the gaza strip from lawrence wright's new yorker piece.
i'm really curious what the justification for the ban on toys is. i suspect there isn't one. and the ice cream factory that was bombed or bulldozed.
if you create conditions like this, you're asking for people to react violently to you. anyone would in those circumstances. i don't understand how israelis could be so short sighted that they don't see their gaza policy as creating a major security threat.
