I'm not going to go all cliche' here, but it is obvious that our opinions are not likely to change - so I don't want to beat a dead horse. Oh wait, that's a cliche' . . .drat.
I'm with you on the horse or off the horse.

I don't think Israel cares about the bad PR of shutting the borders to journalists right now. I think they'd care somewhat more if say the US actually sent in troops to defend the Palestinians in Gaza and would find that pretty distracting, but I don't see that happening.
