An interesting angle on the story ...

Laila is a Guardian journalist living and working in Gaza.

However she's presently travelling in America and wrote this: Its difficult blogging from way over here. I feel impotent, a far-and-away observer, distant and a little too comfortable. and I don't like it. its so easy to get lost here in your own little world, whatever that world is; its not wonder the average American knows-and cares-so little about the outside world; Between the longest work hours on the planet and corporate-controlled media in the hours you do have to yourself, I don't blame them in some ways. That, and insanely expensive health insurance. More on this later.

Her friend writes to her from inside Rafah ...
