Gazan children growing up in the shadow of conflict
The one year anniversary of the Gaza onslaught continues to produce fine journalism, such as this piece in today’s Guardian: Last December, Israel began a 23-day bombardment of Gaza, killing around 1,400 people.

Israeli politicians should keep looking over their shoulders
The case of Israeli politician Tzipi Livni avoiding the UK due to concerns over her legal status continues to echo.
