Here is part of a news report from AFP for what appears to be the imminent collapse of the latest roadmap to peace in the middle east:

"Palestinian medical sources said more than 30 other people were wounded in the fifth Israeli helicopter raid in Gaza in three days, including an attempt Tuesday to kill a senior Hamas political leader that sparked a new cycle of bloodshed."

This is the third time I have heard the Israeli botched helicopter attack on this guy described as the spark to the "new" violence. Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the helicopter attack a direct response to the combined attack by members of Hamas, Hezbollah and Al-Aqsa against an Israel military checkpoint that killed two Israeli soldiers. If I am right about this sequence of events this report is not just shading of the news but is an outright lie. Brian Williams reported the same drivel last night.
