Push - It's Heroes - The Movie!

Push: It's Heroes — The Movie! <watch me!

The trailer for Dakota Fanning's superpowered teen rebel movie Push has finally come out... and the storyline looks a lot like your fave mutant angst show, Heroes.
Except that it looks action-movie awesome, with tons of superpowered
people throwing down and telekinesis-assisted gun battles. And it'll
only last a couple of hours, which will probably limit the amount of
superpowered incest. Details (and spoilers) below.

Israel bombs school - kills at least 40

Al Jazeera English - Middle East - Scores killed as Gaza school hit

More than 640 people have been killed and 2,800 others wounded in the 11-day operation, most of them civilians.
...

Fares Akram, a Gaza city
resident, told Al Jazeera there was "no safe place in Gaza" as "the
Israeli war planes don't stop dropping bombs and firing missiles into
Gaza".

Akram says his wife, who is nine-months pregnant, is living in fear
of going into labour both because of how dangerous it is to leave their
home and because "she knows hospitals in Gaza are in chaos".

He said that while Gazans appreciated demonstrations staged across
the Arab world in protest at Israel's actions in the Strip, most
believe that while the US backs the Israeli offensive the assault will
continue.

In addition, the humanitarian situation in Gaza – already poor
following the 18-month Israeli blockade of the strip that left the
territory desperately short of fuel, food and medical supplies – is
worsening.

John Ging, the head of Unrwa, said he was "shocked" by "the
brutality of the injuries" he had seen during a visit to the Shifa
hospital in Gaza.

The New York Times' Jerusalem bureau chief isn't impressed:
"Israel has never restricted media access like this before, and it should be ashamed," said Ethan Bronner.... "It's betraying the principles by which it claims to live."

The Israelis are a gifted and resourceful people who fully deserve the right to live in peace, but who seem intent on squandering every chance to allow that to happen. It’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that this conflict serves the political and economic purposes of Israel so well that they have every interest in maintaining it. While there is fighting they can continue to build illegal settlements. While there is fighting they continue to receive huge quantities of military aid from the United States. And while there is fighting they can avoid looking candidly at themselves and the ruthlessness into which they are descending.
