As usual in the early days of a major crisis involving dead Arab civilians, the US media is busy looking elsewhere or making excuses. If you want more info on the Gaza strike than what the New York Times posts, check
UPDATE Tony Karon wrote this before the bombing but it applies.

1. Contact the White House to protest the attack and demand an immediate cease-fire. Call 202-456-1111 or send an email to comments@whitehouse.gov. 2. Contact the State Department at 202-647-6575. 3. Contact your Representative and Senators in Congress at 202-224-3121.
Friend asks re: Gaza - how can it stop? Via rule of law, diplomacy, US will to justice. Doable. Will it be done? I'm praying.
If US gov't wanted it to stop, it would stop. Diplomacy can work wonders. Lifting the siege too. Rule of law heals many ills.
It makes me angry that the world can sit back and watch this happening. Gazans are starving for food, medicine, human rights...
