[IMC-UK-Features] Feature on Gaza massacre

[ben gringo]

I must have missed something as i didn't see a draft proposal or any  
discussion on the gaza feature and it kinda sucks IMHO. It doesn't  
give any background or recent history and doesn't even relay any of  
the basic facts like when the latest attacks started, how many peopel  
have been reported killed/injured. It doesn't mention the end of the  
ceasefire on the 19th or rockets fired into israel. It is one of the  
worst features I've ever seen on indymedia.

Title sucks.. "Yet again Israel massacres Gazan civilians - and yet  
again world leaders sit on the fence while people burn", if only  
because it's really long but also because it's not entirely true as  
some world leaders aren't sitting on the fence.

The text sucks.. "Stop! Look! And listen! Then lobby, campaign and  
fight for human rights enshrined in international law to be upheld and  
enforced in this case against the Israeli state war machine."...  this  
isn't telling people what's going on, it's telling people what to do.

Not wanting to just criticise without constructive suggestions I'd  
suggest the title is changed to something simple like, "Gaza under  
attack again" and rest gets replaced with a simple intro to the events  
since the 27th. I'm not volunteering and personally think it should be  
removed until it is fixed.

I would like to propose a feature on the massacre in Gaza, compiled  
obviously of
all the relevant posts to the wire concerning the shelling etc.
