A different take on the Gaza invasion...

Everybody is on the Gaza situation. Even MSNBC has interrupted its weekend of rerun filler to cover it.

But if you'd like a decidedly non-American-centric take, Al Jazeera English appears to have reporters all over the place. And the Doha correspondent just had one of those exchanges with a spokesman for the Israeli PM that you just don't see on American TV. And if you do, it's usually followed by someone throwing a temper tantrum - remember the McCain campaign blackballing Larry King, the softest of all softballs, after Campbell Brown beat up a McCain flack earlier in the day? Those Israelis put their suits on with five-inch nails -- they're tough. Watch as the spokesflack gives as good as he gets. And they'll get right back on AJE and do it again in a couple of hours, if not sooner. And beam it into Israel, where AJE has (last I heard) replaced BBC World on the largest Israeli cable systems.

Remember, Al Jazeera English is streaming live on Livestation.
