War Crimes: Power Line:

[A] video, posted by the IDF on its YouTube channel earlier today, shows how Hamas will position a rocket or (in this case) mortar launcher within a few feet of a school, not because school grounds are somehow ideal locations from which to fire ordnance, but in hopes of causing civilian casualties...

One wonders, too, what was going on at the UN-run school. Why were dozens or hundreds of children present? Is the UN unaware that Gaza is a war zone? Schools have been closed in Israeli towns that are subject to Palestinian rocket attacks. Why on earth would the UN, or whoever, be assembling students in a location where they can easily be turned into "martyrs" by Hamas? Were classes really being conducted in this alleged school, in the middle of a bombardment? There is a story here, waiting to be told.

That story will have to wait. Pinchie, Andrea Mitchell, Chris Matthews and their ilk have devoted all of their resources to investigating Trig Palin's lineage and Joe the Plumber's prostate exam results.
