Gaza settlement checkpoint has become a target
John Donnelly, Gaza City, Gaza Strip
Transcribed from the clipping
“Said Foreign Minister Shimon Peres earlier this week: ‘Netzarim is a thorn that should be torn out’… ‘What the hell do you need it for, anyway?’ … Today, 5,000 Jews live in 19 cordoned-off settlements among Gaza’s nearly 1 million Palestinians… ‘Let a thousand mothers cry so long as your mother doesn’t. Shoot and be blamed. Just don’t come home in a coffin.’”

The story runs as a band across the top of the page. The other four-fifths is a Black Friday jewelry sale — diamond studs at $699, thirty dollars a month, stores open at eight. Nobody did anything wrong: the news hole is what is left after the advertising, and the advertising paid for the correspondent in Gaza City. That is the economics of every clipping in this archive, visible in one glance.
