Media Banned From Gaza as Humanitarian Crisis Escalates
Israel is again preventing journalists from entering Gaza to report firsthand on the escalating crisis there as its military operation, codenamed Operation Cast Lead, enters its fifth day.
Israel imposed an unprecedented news blackout in November and banned foreign journalists from the Gaza Strip for an entire month.
This followed an Israeli cross-border military incursion into the coastal territory which broke the fragile ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, and set off the current cycle of violence.
The media ban was eventually lifted after the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in Israel petitioned the Israeli Supreme Court, and editors from a number of foreign media outlets sent a letter of protest to the Israeli government.
The foreign media is once again petitioning an Israeli court for permission to enter Gaza and cover the conflict.

This is why we have so many
This is why we have so many wars. The media is just an official propaganda wing of government now.
I'm neutral on the whole Israel vs. Palestine issue, but one thing I did like about the coverage was that people were finally seeing news photos of what bombs do to human beings.
