by Roland F. Hirsch - Jun. 10, 2010

This news article is moderately good journalism. The author did minimal research, just reprinted talking points. The important fact that the blockade is a joint Egyptian-Israeli effort was left out. The generally good living conditions in Gaza also were ignored by the author. Thus this piece gets a poor rating for context and for enterprising.
