Welcome to all our listeners and viewers from around the country and around the world. The israeli bombardment of gaza has entered its eighth day with the Palestinian Death toll now topping 139. More than 1200 people have been injured. On tuesday, to that israelis died in rocket attacks bringing the Israeli Death toll in the past week to five. Earlier today, 21 people were injured in these really city of televisa when a bomb exploded aboard a crowded bus. Israeli Police Say Two suspects threw a bomb onto the bus before fleeing the scene. The attack marks one of the worst inside israel in several years. So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the bombings. International efforts to secure a ceasefire have so far been unsuccessful. Hillary clinton has just arrived in egypt where she will hold talks with egyptian president morsi about a possible truce in gaza. Clinton already has met with palestinian president abbas and ramallah and israeli print minister Benjamin Netanyahu in jerusalem. We go to gaza city where were joined by democracy now course on Sharif Abdel Kouddous. This latest article was just published by the nation. Explain how you got into gaza and what is happening there now. I got in through the rafah Border Crossing, the only border that bosra has to the outside world not controlled by israel. I had to wait three days on the border to get in from egypt, but i eventually did. It is really a dystopian reality, one of raleigh widespread violence and suffering. There is heavy naval bombing with the buzz of the drones overhead that really gives you the feeling of being under constant threat. You can hear the outgoing rockets being fired into israel. The streets are quite empty, shops are closed, theres a heavy tension in the air. Last night, talks of a cease fire were under way. It was particularly brutal. There was a nonstop barrage of bombing that made the ground literally shake every 10 minutes. This was as clinton was arriving in israel, i believe, for these talks. Around 2 00 in the morning, there was a missile strike that landed in an open area not more than 30 yards from where im staying in my hotel and two hotels there by our housing many journalists, blew out the windows of the surrounding buildings including my hotel room, left a massive crater in the ground. One journalist told me journalists were in the lobby for the summer and shot and some are laughing nervously. One said, this is intimidation. This is a fraction of what many have gone through in gaza. Nearly 140 have been killed, mostly civilians, 34 of them children. The attack last night, which was terrifying, it followed attacks that hit the offices of al jazeera and Agence France presse. Yesterday, they proudly admitted killing two palestinian journalists in their car. That strike in the car happened on the corner of a school run by the United Nations, which yesterday was turned into a mass of shelter for displaced gazans. More than 1800 came to the school yesterday after the Israeli Military dropped leaflets on towns in northern gaza, ordering residents to evacuate their houses. Many fled after reading these leaflets. They were hit with fear and panic. In the bombings started, so they fled. Many of them left behind most of their belongings. These families are crammed into the classrooms of these schools, with little water and have not eaten since last night. There are many traumatized children. One could not stop willing and throwing herself on the floor. Her mother said she had been like that since the bombing last week. Another mother said her 13year old daughter could not stop crying unless she is being held by someone and embraced because shes overcome by fear. This is whats gaza is like. The threat of bombing in violence is everpresent. The infrastructure here is being systematically destroyed. It israel targeted a large bank, targeting one of the biggest drag so far was the Civil Administration building. They target police stations. The edifices are being destroyed. People have little recourse for any kind of safety. Quickly, did you hear about what happened in televisa . What is the reaction in gaza right now with the bombing of the bus . I did hear on the streets. I cannot hear the latest news as much, but, ino, i did not hear much reaction. There was a bombing of a bus. Some people were hurt. This is the reality of gaza every few minutes. You know, the reaction here, i mean, i honestly did not know the news until i came back to the hotel room to be on the show so i cannot really speak to that. What i can say, the difference there is no equality and what is happening in israel and gaza. The number of people being killed, the number of buildings been destroyed, the number of people being wounded is nothing compared to what is happening in israel. I think news organizations have to report what is happening fairly. Fairly is the cold hard numbers speak to the reality of what is happening. You have just come from cairo. How is the role of egypt and Mohamed Morsis new government there being interpreted i
