Snow's store is the second one on Juan Cole's article.

I like the fact that Snow points out that Israel's use of military action in the past has not resolved the problem with Gaza.

Wish our news anchors could do likewise. Chris Hayes, who also interviewed Mark Regev, the Israeli Prime Minister's propaganda spokesperson, came the closet and I admit Hayes is doing his best with the time constraints he has.
