loquitor--nice to see you again...
first, you shouldn't confuse the perspectives that i have been developing in the thread with support of hamas.
second, i had gathered more information about this than is in the guardian article--the idf's version, which is what you post above via ap, was floated not long after the story first broke and seems to me an exercise in damage control. while it's obviously impossible for any of us to *know* what happened, i don't think that this attack and the institution of the 3 hour cease fire for humanitarian assistance to reach the civilian population is a coincidence.
i'm in the middle of a dealine-driven thing at the moment, so will for the moment refer you back to the thread above for my view of this overall situation. the narrative is think central does not preclude yours exactly, but it does undercut it in some important ways. i'll check back tonight and see if there is stuff up for discussion... but for the moment, i gotta go.
