Israel enjoys a moment out of the spotlight

With the US going to elections, and Iraq going to shit, there hasnt been so much attention paid to what has been going on in Israel and the Palestinian territories lately. Lucky for Israel:
The little-girl-sniping was part of a broader 6 day long incursion into the Gaza that has left 52 Palestinians dead, half of them civilians. One of the best things about the Iraq war for the Israelis is that it has really set the bar high for civilian killings - we're seeing news of 20-50 civillians killed in bombings every day from Iraq, so when Israel does it over a 6 day period, it hardly even raises eyebrows.
"Israeli snipers killed two Palestinians in Gaza on Saturday, one of them a 12-year-old girl, Palestinian sources said......The 12-year-old girl was killed by a single bullet to the head, local hospital workers said.These "armed fighters" sound like real ninja guys, what, being able to dodge bullets Matrix-style and all......So the sniper had a fighter in his sights, pulled the trigger, and in the fractions of a second in between, the fighter dived out of the way, leaving a 12 year old girl in his place? No wonder the Israelis have to fight so dirty - they are obviously up against superhuman enemies .....
An Israeli army spokesman said a sniper had spotted an armed fighter and had fired at him but that the girl was killed as the armed man got out of the line of fire."
