The UN's inquiry team being led by Justice Goldstone has arrived in Gaza to investigate the war crimes committed by that most moral of armies, the IDF.
Across the border, the Egyptian one that is, they are preparing for the imminent arrival of Obama who will be making his first speech in an Arab capital. The main way they seem t have chosen to show their sincerity to the US empire that bank rolls the economy is to urge Fatah on its stoking of civil war among Palestinians in a futile attempt to undercut the growing influence of Hamas - hence the murders of Al-Qassam fighter last night.
Will Obama mention Israel's war that killed at least 400 children killed in Gaza? Don't count on it. But just to make life a little bit easier for Obama, Israel has seemingly relented to US demands and temporarily opened two border crossings. Naturally the Israelis will not be letting any reconstruction materials through despite Obama's pleas - which explains the fact that growing numbers are turning to mud as their only building material option in the abscence of concrete.
Israel will of course shut the crossings again as soon as Obama leaves the region.
