    So if Israel is innocent, why are they not allowing independent investigators in Gaza? Or independent media inside Gaza?

      Republicans seem to really ignore:we no longer live in a world where the girl/boy next door is your most likely wife/husband. Many of us human beings build relationships accross borders now the Internet is so linked to our daily lives.
