Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Gaza toll nears 300 amid new raids

Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Gaza toll nears 300 amid new raids: "Palestinian medics say that more than 280 people have been killed and more than 600 injured in a second day of Israeli bombing of the impoverished Gaza Strip.

A police station and a factory were among the targets reportedly hit on Sunday, after a mosque and the headquarters of al-Aqsa television had been struck overnight.

Reports say the latest air attacks have hit Gaza City, Khan Yunis and Jabaliya, in the north.

The Reuters news agency reported that at least one missile hit the offices of Ismail Haniya, the Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip, but he was not in the building at the time."

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House

Broken Spring?       : Information Clearing House This is a sequel to my June 2011 article, ‘After the spring’, on the upheavals in the Arab world. It is an article that has been painful to write, because it brings bad tidings and offers a pessimistic analysis of the upheavals, at least in the short term, in a number of Arab countries.

These include a complex entanglement with the accelerated preparations for a possible attack on Iran, and a poisonous, sectarian aspect that could have the consequence of ripping Syria and the Middle East apart.
