Amnesty accuses Israel over Gaza. Hamas, too. The Amnesty report is available online: Operation "Cast Lead": 22 days of death and destruction
Israel draws up strategy for PR offensive: "It is not enough for Israel to say that it wants peace. You must also say that you are not a thief. We did not steal another people's land. That is the core of this conflict."
Speaking for myself, I actually don't really care about any of that. All I care about is people blowing up each others' kids, right now. As AI points out, though, both sides use politics and history as their excuse for randomly killing civilians. Either there's something wrong with me or I'm taking a particular philosophical approach that I don't know the name of.
In any case, Israel could pull off a PR coup right now simply by allowing Gazans access to water, sanitation, and medical care.
